| [Phish Tracker] Phishing vs ...not phishing
There seems to be come confusion about what is and is not phishing. Over the last few days I've seen a few 419 emails that were reported as phishing emails.
I am offering this guide in an effort to cut down on unnecessary submissions. Hopefully this thread will clear things up.
Phishing:
• Account about to expire
• Lost personal information
• Update your financial information
• Update an account with a site you've never heard of
Examples:
Not phishing:
• Won a lottery you never entered
• Enlarge your penis, tighten your vagina, cheap meds, cure cancer using a wonderpill
• Dead relatives in foreign countries
• Dying widows with millions
• Dying widowers with millions
• "Work for us by cashing checks"
Examples:
Please submit as many phishing emails as you can. Please do not submit any non-phishing emails.
Thanks!

| Here are two true phishing emails. One is particularly clever with the brute force attack note at the top. Both have the actual email addy shown using Eudora's built-in anti-phishing tool. The actual email addy is clearly not ebay or paypal.
keep em coming.
cheers,
