"Paypal" scam warning.

[shIva]

The victims receive a Mail with the reference "Dear PayPal Customer" and a falsified PayPal sender address.  Be very wary of any incoming mails requesting CC or info numbers.




Registering and announcing at PayPal is requested by the form (including personal data, E-Mail address, password and credit card number)

There was a similar scam directed at Yahoo! Wallet users, which was very similar to this one.

You got a mail claiming that your information had expired and they asked you to go to "www.yahoo-wallet.com" (now taken down by the ISP or similar). That page contained a form similar to the picture above. If you submitted any information it loaded an invisible frameset containing the Yahoo front page. The page was loaded from 200.171.29.133, a computer in brazil. Is the same computer involved in the scam above?

Anyone stupid enough to give out their ATM pin probably deserves to suffer the consequences.

While you are at it you may as well post your safety deposit key and safe combination as well.

I deleted the e-mail as soon as I spotted it in my inbox. Its such an obvious hoax, I doubt it anyone really falls for this rubbish.

Bear in mind that the Nigerian 419 scammers have raked in millions of pounds, despite their emails being so stupid that every time I see one I think "Christ! You'd have to be a completely braindead moron with a negative IQ to fall for this crap!".

These do the rounds every now and again.

I posted a warning about this same thing here.

Everyone that gets one of these should fill it in with false details, that way they may get caught.

@ Xeron

Oh yeah !

The Nigerian scam mails. I still recieve the occasional one. They do seem to get more silly by the day.

I have read about businessmen falling for these scams and it makes me wonder how an intelligent person could fall for this crap.

I guess greed will make them blind enough to ignore thier common sense. They must also be new to e-mail and stuff otherwise they would be well aware of the fraud.
