I know that we all know that this is just insane. I would like to think nobody I know would actually try to unlock an account with that information, but I know better. I don't even HAVE an account with an M&I Bank. Just wanted to share for the sake of our customers. Please pass this on if you are a banker for M&I - and to your customers if you are not!!

Apparently there have been 5 phishing email scams regarding M&I just this year....

I got this yesterday in my home e-mail.

This scam is going on at alot of banks. I think it is sad, because so many people are getting caught up in it and are losing money and other personal info. Customers BEWARE!!!

There is no patch for human stupidity-Kevin Mitnick

Excuse my brashness, but I cannot help but think customers should all know this by now. It's been drilled into them enough times that I cannot feel sorry for someone who gives out their information so freely.
