Re: [Phishing] ALERT!! New Vicious PAYPAL phishing
said by kw524  :I'm just a uneducated machinist in upstate N.Y. and I knew better than to fall for that one. Maybe some Lawyers, Engineers, Academic Professionals, Web Consultants, Business owners and Headhunters go seek some common sense courses It seems like common sense.. because you know what to look for, but it's not really common sense, is it? I mean all the clues to soothe the "average" user are there. That's why people get fooled. You'd have to know to look for the off URL... and know you should first (most things are easy when you know what to do, right?).
I do IT for wide range of high professionals, and (for the most part), they are not stupid.. they just don't have time to keep up with all this. And, personally, I'd rather my doctors, lawyers, etc, spending their waking moments keeping up with their field ... rather than spending time with all this.
Besides, most of them don't actually do their administrivia, they have low paid staff doing it for them (yes, reading all their email, doing online banking, etc.).
Just food for thought...
Good job, MGD.. Keep on rockin'
