Re. Phishing fraud question

[David While]

Interestingly I have received a number of the Postcard emails - all were
tagged as spam. When I investigated them the links were split to reveal
the actual url and the specified URL. I think this must have been the
email client doing this since I don't have the version of MailScanner
running which does this. I use Outlook 2003 on XP SP2.

Yes, it certainly should. There are a large number of these scams, and
they
are on the increase very rapidly. My phishing code requires no
"signatures"
or updates of any kind, it just looks for links that don't go where they
say they will.
