This spoof email contains a complete and forged Bank One sign in page to add a sense of authenticity to this phishing scam.

Bank One's own web site images are even used together with spoofed senders details, and submiting your user name and password would see it sent to scammers via a PHP script located at http://210.78.22.113/ - which is hosted in JiTong Shanghai Communications' web space (China).

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
