we already knew that this was a phish because we dont have an account at this bank and banks never send unsolicited emails. so anyway, a simple google search for florida parishes bank leads us to its website: www.floridaparishesbank.comin the email when you place your curser on the hyperlink (in blue) above and look down at your status bar you see that url is www.floridaparishesbanksignin.com -- see the difference? just to be sure a whois check of florida parishes bank real website shows that it is hosted by cavion.com and the url registrant information appears to be proper -- while a check of the url from the phishing email shows that it is hosted by yahoo and the registrant information looks suspect -- which results in our email:
