This is new. What I found in my inbox today:
Looks all very official. Even the URL looks good. Except, it is one big GIF image. And I'm not a client of Citibank. And even if I was, they would have another email address than the one this was sent to.
The trick is in the link: it appears that clicking there would bring you to that https url. But instead, you go to some obscure page :
http://%36%34%2e%31%36%33%2e%31%39%30%2e%31%35%34:34/%63%69%74/%69%6E%64%65%78%2E%68%74%6D
What really hit me, was the fact that they claim to protect against identity theft. And at the same time, do it themselves. Bastards.
