Dear Ted, Peter and Prof. Farber,Random, dumb luck. Spam enough people and someone will have an account with them.

I forwarded this to my son David who lives in Santa Barbara. Here is his answer: "I actually got one of these e-mails because we have our mortgage with SBB&T. At first, I thought it was real because it was in the 805 area code (Santa Barbara). I called and it asked for an account number. I didn't give it, wanting to talk to someone. Since I didn't enter anything, the thing hung up on me. I was going to call the *real* SBB&T number, but decided it was a hoax and I wasn't going to waste my time. I wonder how they got hold of the SBB&T customer list?" Now that's a good question. Anyone know the answer? Ted Dolotta
