Hi All

Just got some official looking note claiming to be from paypal and asking for updated credit card info.

The text link in the html note looks like it goes to paypal, but the href is really some IP. I don't want to post it for obvious reasons.

Be on the lookout

------------------------------------------

If they really needed an updated credit card info wouldn't they post it in your account info when you login,
Sounds suspicious to me...

</not a clue>

This is **DEFINATLY** a dodgey email. I have received quite a few recently. Another favorite, is the eBay email ... asking for the same kind of thing.

Basically, if you're ever going to update your PP/eBay account ... do it directly through their site :)

Cheers

I got two last night. when you hovered you mouse over the link,


the status bar would show:


on lower resolution screens, I assume the junk on the right would be cut off

This spoofing is called "phishing", if I'm not mistaken.

Limecat is not pleased.

Indeed. Gmail are doing well at trying to stop this (they have "phishing" link, which grabs more details for you, as well as reporting the email ... which is pretty cool =)).

That's good. It thoroughly aggrevates me that Outlook by default doesn't have the URL bar at the bottom of the screen (like Eudora does). You have to "view source" to see where a link is going to take you. That's just plain stupid.
