I was clearing out some spammail today, and noticed that one was an "Urgent message from Third Fifth Bank". Doesn't even sound like a real bank, does it? Why on earth would they choose such an idiotic name? "National Bank of ___" or "First Bank of ___" actually sound plausible. But Third Fifth? Not a chance.
(On reflection, I thought perhaps it might cater to musicians.)

There really is a Fifth Third bank, originated in Cincinnati, Ohio. It even has a pamphlet explaining the history of its name. The logo you see on the spam is the correct logo. (I've received it, too.)
Oh. Wow. My bad.
