anyedie Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 wow! is it just me getting attacked by realistic looking phishing scams lately? in the past month or so I have been targeted from veriozen and ebay. This could easily convince most people, kinda scarry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I get about 5-10 wannabe paypal e-mails a month saying that I need to verify some information but the page would be something like paypa1.co.uk or .jp or something weird.

gbjazzman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Maybe it's because I don't get emails, but I don't get very many phishing attacks. I did get one for Myspace, which is funny, because I don't have a myspace account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourmysin Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Lol, i never get fishing emails. Mabey on my public emails yes, but my personal ones i never have, never will lol. Why do you think websites ask for your emails? So they can reveal them to their affiliates who then pay the business for helping them scam you. Fools, never give your true email, har har.

cooper Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've got this really unpatriotic thing called a brain. Oh, and a good anti-spam solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Whatever happened to the simple days of South African Kings wanting money (I actually got an email like this once) I'm pretty sure South Africa has a president and no monarchy. They could at least pick a country that has a king. You would feel kinda lame if you fell for that particular one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari6502 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I finnally got one of those scam emails about them needing to transfer money into an account and me getting a percentage. I was beginning to feel left out. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlit Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 1. Don't believe anything you read on the internet, including your email. 2. Close your email account. 3. Hide behind the sofa. 4. ... 5. Profit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I like reading phishing atacks to a certin degree... then spaming there database with the message "You are fucking lossers!" :twisted:# ... and then writing the spam script to randomly had underscors, spaces and colons, semicolons and other random charaters in random places thus making it incredibly defficiult to remove the spam :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I like reading phishing atacks to a certin degree... then spaming there database with the message "You are fucking lossers!" :twisted:# ...and confirming that you do actually exist, that is actually your email address and you are actually opening their spam?
