-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at FirstMerit by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- FirstMerit never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual FirstMerit URL.

Dear FirstMerit Client,
During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures,
we have detected a slight error in your billing information.
This might be due to either of the following reasons:
1. A recent change in your personal information ( i.e. change of address).
2. Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an
internal error within our processors.
To update your billing records please click on the link ( or copy and paste to
your browser ) :
http://www.ofiresform.com/first/First Merit.htm
If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to
use your credit card will become restricted.
