Stupid E-mail - Fragma - 04-12-2011
Had to share this with you all... I received this E-mail a couple of day's ago... It's probably been sent to a lot of people so just beware if you have received it.
Code:
Dear client,
This email confirms that you have sent a payment of $231.30 USD to teddy.ny1972@aol.com for an eBay item.
-----------------------------------
Payment Details
-----------------------------------
Amount: $231.30 USD
Transaction ID: 9NC19381NH6312Y
Subject: iPad 2
Note:
If you have not authorized this charge, review the attached file in this email and submit your information to our security team so we can process the refund.I thought it was actually quite cleverly written out. Anyway I had quite a nice little giggle at this poor attempt.
The link attached kindly directs you to a "refund" page where you simply enter your card details!
Lol...

Good phishing attempt, but it's actually a clever mind game they played here.

Smooth, glad we are all educated enough at tech here. Right?
Come on you would have to be a vegetable to give them any information. I would spam that email.

Probably not much point spamming it. It won't be anybody's personal Email, just a bot.
But yeh I think if I was a computer noob, I could find myself very nearly falling for this, even though I don't have that much money in my Paypal lol...

lol, imagine if you had a penny left and they hijacked it. That would be funny.

Would you mind providing the "refund" page? I'm curious as to what the page looks like.

I wouldn't say good, definitely not clever. It's the uneducated nature of the victim, not the wit of the fraudster.

lol, you shouldn't have open the link anyway.
I don't even open emails where I don't know who the sender is.

Wait those were fake. For real, I just put my mom's credit card in there. What should I do now?
Don't you love sarcasm.

I already received this kind of spam email but i just ignored it and deleted it. I've been receiving different kinds of spam emails but i don't mind them.
