Fraudulent Email Addresses 2 (FirstBank)

I came across another fraudulent email in my mailbox and decided to share it too. Always check the full info on the sender. Note that Yahoo shows the real email address that sent the email surrounded by these signs < >. <mahesh.r@arvind.net> is the sender, while the part that shows FirstAlert@FirstBankNigeria.com is just a name given by the sender, not the actual mailbox it was sent from.
So let's stay safe, be careful and mind which emails we follow up with.

Fraudulent Email Addresses

Fraudsters usually send emails trying to mimic banks and other financial institutes. An example is the email snapshot above. An email claiming to be a debit alert from UBA (United Bank for Africa), but when you closely examine the email address it was sent from <pnihoubad@hodship.net> which is not the email address of the bank. The first part "Udirect@ubagroup.com" is just a name given by the fraudster, to deceive people to assume it's from the bank.
Always check which email address emails are from. The above snapshot is from a Yahoo mailbox. Other email providers show it in different ways. For some, you might need to pass your mouse over the sender's name, to reveal the email address it is from.
