    Damn, that is pretty good.

    I enjoy reading the ones with the chopped grammar and atrocious spelling. They make for a great read.

    The irony is that the security links in the phishing website send you to legitimate chase website fraud pages. Somebody must really be laughing every time they get some poor saps credit card info.

    I got one today that said this, and took me to an authentic looking Chase login webpage. Since I am a Chase customer and use online banking, it would be easy to fall for it. Thankfully, I looked at the URL.

    .at is the domain for Austria, so my guess is it the scammers are somewhere in the Balkans, but it is essentially impossible for you to track them down, so I wouldn't waste too much time with it.

    I just reverse-dns'd cwa.at and it is not an ISP but a firm that does sports promotion. You first might want to contact them and let them know - they've probably been trojan horsed.
