Anybody get an email from "CIBC Security"? I tried to forward this eMail to the real CIBC but instead it opened up but I did not click on the link.
Query: How do you forward an unopened eMail to someone?
Contact the bank in question on their 1-800 number, and tell them what you've received.
They'll give you an email to forward it to, usually something starting with phishing@

Saved the email file then create a new email and then attached the suspicious email to it and then send it to cibc and explain them this email is a phsishing email from the phsishers..hopefully the real Cibc can start an investiagation and shut down the phoney site and contact interpol.
It's usually the attachment that is infected, not the body of the text.Anybody get an email from "CIBC Security"? I tried to forward this eMail to the real CIBC but instead it opened up but I did not click on the link.

As far as CIBC, I get my alerts when I log onto their online banking site, not via e-mail.

Opening the text of the email can't hurt you. All email applications I know of (even the web-based ones) won't open anything other than text and images. Even if they tried to, your computer will ask you if you want to run something first, to which you could say no. As for forwarding before opening, I've never done it. I always open and then hit forward. But without knowing what application you're using (Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail or Hotmail web-based, etc) I don't think anyone can help.
Whew! I did not click on the link. Yahoo also said some images were not displayed for my protection.It's usually the attachment that is infected, not the body of the text.
The response from the real CIBC also said: "Do not copy and paste the (bogus) email." I think I'll simply delete this piece of ---- from my Spam folder. No point keeping it around.

You certainly can have your computer security settings allowing random things to run
Esp if using pirated OS which often have security removed
