CEFCU, whatever it is, is real, and has a page about phishing scams.

Like a what’s wrong with this picture?
The parentheses, the exclamation mark, missing space, hyphen—
and my favorite, “a few information”
Yep. I think “activities” is a tell too. And the capital on “Click.” What they’re counting on is that you’ll be so addled that you’ll respond without thinking it through.
I don’t know if it’s coincidental that it was on Memorial Day -- the CEFCU 800-number for inquiring about scams was down for the holiday.
