Good thing I clicked that not obvious link and took care of the issue.

You know at least a few people fall for this or we wouldn't continue to get this type of spam - right!

ScottDaMan · 03-31-2008, 03:00 PM

Haha, was it necessary to post the link to the scam site? Really?

WF no-follows I believe. no harm done unless someone on WF itself is too stupid to realize it's a phisher.

Interesting... My FireFox picks it up as a potential web forgery ("Continue or Ge Me Out of Here!"), and I don't even have an extension for that!
It's so dodgy that my browser can pick it up without extra features!!

It doesn't even look like the PayPal site!
You'd really have to be an idiot to login...

Yeah I noticed that too when I actually went to the site. What I find even more surprising is that IE 7 does the same thing! I was pretty blown away IE did something right for a change, I was half expecting it to fill in the fields automagically.

I think that Gmail picks up these phishing emails.
