Got an email this morning that read like I needed to confirm a purchase from eBay with my Paypal account, and since I didn't make the apparent purchase, this pulled an emotional WTF response right off the bat. The letter looked all official and shit. I clicked on the omfg-confirm-this-shit-or-deny link and it brought up what appeared to be the Paypal site. Right after I clicked the link, I realized what the deal was, and decided to just let the page load to see what it would hold in store.
And then came the obvious, a page that looked EXACTLY like Paypal's internal pages asking for all of my debit/credit card information and whatnot, even my PIN number which would have probably thrown up the mental red flag anyway. Didn't even have to "log in" to Paypal, which would have thrown up yet another red flag.
For shits and giggles I filled in stupid values into the fields, like midget cum dumpster for my bank name, etc., and submitted the form. This afternoon I got another email from this dipshit asking me to verify my account info or my account "will get bolcked".
So there's not much of a point to this post except someone went through a lot of trouble to set all this up and missed a shitload of small things that would tip people off. I couldn't help but think how they could improve on the % of people they successfully scam. Reminds me of those porn spam emails I get that have dumbass subject lines like "Hot Lesbians Want Your Cock NOW" that don't make any fucking sense.
