Email Phishing Scam

I received an email purporting to be from Wells Fargo Bank. I hovered my mouse over the Login to Customer Central link they so helpfully provided.  You can see in the lower left the link takes me to a web site with a Russian domain. Amateurs!

as you know hank, it's a numbers game. They send out 1M of these. 90% of those get thrown out by spam filters. and 1% or so of the people will click thru on the remaining 100k messages. of those, maybe 1/2% have a wells fargo account. Five people with a few thousand in their accounts is all it takes to make this pencil out...
