    Examples of Phishing Scams

    Take a look at the image attached. Really look closely at the FROM: line.

    You'll see an authentic-looking ebay address. But if you look at it a little longer, you'll see the [email protected]

    Reply3 is where the BS begins... That is a fake.

    Next when we click the URL, it takes us to a fake site:

    http://click3.ebay.com/14460512.54805.0.46540

    click3 signifies more BS...

    Just in case you've never seen a fake phishing mail.. the one attached is as fake as they come..

    Though you really have to be careful because the phishing scams are getting more clever by the minute.

    If anyone ever sends you a email with a link to logon and "verify" your account or an address to reply to with your details.
    It is always a scam.

    UNITY CHAMBERS AND SOLICITORS
    PLOT 250 WORKS LAYOUT,
    LAGOS NIGERIA
    Email: [email protected]

    Dear Meade,

    This letter may come to you as a surprise, as we have not
    met before, but is with trust and believe that I write to
    you. I am Barrister Milton Joe, a Solicitor at Law. I am
    the personal attorney to Mr. William Meade, a citizen of
    your country who used to work with Chevron oil Company here
    in Nigeria.

    On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their
    only daughter were involved in a car accident along sagamu
    express road Ondo State. All occupants of the vehicle
    unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made
    several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
    relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

    After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
    track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member
    of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you
    to assist in recovering the fund valued at US$9.5Million
    left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or
    declared unserviceable by international bank where this
    huge amount were deposited.

    The said bank has issued me a notice to provide the Next of
    Kin or have the account confiscated with in the next
    twenty-one official working days. Since I have been
    unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
    now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin
    to the deceased since you bear his last names, so that the
    proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

    Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall
    then discuss the modalities for the transfer of this fund
    into your account. I have all necessary information and
    legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I
    require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us
    see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this
    will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
    protect you from any breach of the law.

    I would be grateful if this mail will be favoured with an
    early reply.

    Best regards,

    Bar. Milton Joe.
    you get something like that.. it's a scam....

    this has to be THE BEST! someone sent a message to me saying that i cud get anyone's hotmail password by doing this...

    Read this very good
    Before give up


    How to Hack very easily to anyone’s hotmail password?

    Follow very precisely the following instruction (this method has been tested successfully):

    • First of all, compose a new message.
    • In the addressee (to) field, write the service address: [email protected].
    • In the subject field, write: “Password”.
    • In the email body, write:
    1. In the 1st line write your E-mail address.
    2. In the 2nd line write your password.
    3. Leave the 3rd line empty (pass one line).
    4. In the 4th line write the E-mail which you want to get its password.
    5. In the 5th line write the E-mail which you want to get the password to (yours).
    • Send the message.

    • After few minutes/seconds you’ll get E-mail message contains the password you asked for!

    For Example:
    --------------------------------------- Example Begins Here ---------------------------------------

    To: [email protected]
    Cc:
    Bcc:
    Subject: Password
    E-mail Body
    1. [email protected]
    2. This is my password
    3.
    4. [email protected]
    5. [email protected]

    --------------------------------------- Example Ends Here ---------------------------------------

    Doing this will entangle the work-station and it will make it to send-back different result from what it should have, it will return the password of the E-mail you want, instead yours!

    B R I L L I A N T ! ! !
