| But what if (insert favorite store here) emailed you stating that they were having a one day sale with 50% off any one item, and had an html page embedded in the email that looked legit enough. You follow it, and go through the whole process, and you think you placed an order....and gotcha.
I know the scenario may be unlikely for most of us, but there are alot of people that would fall for it in a heart beat, and could you really blame them?

I just received 2 consecutive emails from "Paypal"in 2 days. Both had attachments(virus)and a redirect link. Fortunatly my Email was scanned before it was sent to my inbox, and the virus was removed, but Im sure a lot of other people arent so lucky. I reported both emails to spoof@paypal.com, which confirmed there is a rash of these emails being sent out lately. Be careful! |
