Most of the phishing attempts and scam e-mails I warn people about are not hard to spot as such. But here\u2019s one that could just be mistaken for an authentic e-mail by someone who doesn\u2019t look at it closely enough. The key for realizing this is an attempt to get your account info rather than a genuine e-mail from Capital One is that the web site it sends you to is not the Capital One site, but a site made to look like it at the domain iseoul.net. It is a fake \u2013 don\u2019t fall for it!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full text of the e-mail:<\/p>\n
