| CyberAtlantis has received two emails so far from a
scammer pretending ( very badly we might add ) to be from MoneyBookers.com - one of our supported payment methods.
The emails come as an HTML email claiming that somebody has sent you money by mistake and that MoneyBookers has reversed the transaction. It then invites you to login to your MoneyBookers account to check on things and of course it provides the scammer with your login + password if you use the login boxes provided in the email - if you check the HTML code you will see that the data goes to a login.pl script on a free host server. In March, both Paypal and Nochex were reported by the Register to have been targeted by a similar scam. |
