Complaint has been sent. I don't think this is a damage that can be undone now that your email is already in the spammer's hands.

regarding zeros in front of your account number:

this is my case; under 'Preferences' online, i have 2 zeros in front. in my july statement, the 2 zeros are not present.

for me, i go with the acct. no. in my july statement, no preceding zeros. i have seen this similarly with my other bank accounts.


also, in my july statement i had this;

Annual Percentage Yield Earned : 10.64%

anyone else see this?!

Can anybody post how long it takes to transfer money from an external account to the ED account, how long it's in probation before you can touch it and when it starts to affect the principle in interest earned? Also how long does it take to transfer out?

I know I saw it earlier, but that was way too many pages ago.

Perhaps if info like this was in quick links that'd be great =)

Did emigrant change their routing #? Or at least the ameritrade rep told me they did. anyone know what the new one is?

What a myth! If you try to open a CD with your saving account, the 2 zeros are there and the system won't allow you to change.

it is. i meant the 2 zeros in your account number are clearly there if you just try to open a CD.

And it says this is your account number with us!

What a ?! I don't get it. he's not even talking about opening a cd within EmigrantDirect. What are you talking about and why is it relevent?

you did not read the thread. at issue is whether there shall be 2 leading zeros in your account number. My direct deposit failed.

Well, what do you think "opmnxtc" was talking about here:

It's possible the spammers were just doing a dictionary attack. Do you get
other spam at that domain?

I have my own domain too and I get mail for "brett" or "jenny" (i.e., fake users)
all the time. Just random probing.

Might want add some digits or something to the localpart in the future.

I do not get any other spam at this domain, and I checked my server logs, and there was NO guessing involved unless they got it on their first try. I have no doubts that ED leaked the address.
