Before i joined this institute, i thought i would come out a successful person in this field, but now my dreams are totally shattered.

I hope they will be made to pay for playing with students careers. Strict action should be taken against them.

The only thing is, you are taken to another site, not your bank. Then you are either given a page that looks like your bank's site, or you are forwarded to your bank's site immediately after giving the impostors your password. Then you may notice your money is missing a few days later.
2. You get an email from someone claiming to be Yahoo! saying there is a problem with your account and that you have to fill out a web form.
