Scam Emails

[SS]Midnight · 07-26-2010

It has been awhile since I have gotten one. (yay spam filter?) Today I got, what was for me, a very obvious one. Obvious for many reasons. One: I have never heard of that bank. Two: The link they provided in the email was not actually a link, instead the entire email was a link to an address that was nothing like the URL in the email. I always look in the lower left to see where the link will go (thanks Shooter for making me paranoid of the meat spin). It was something like this : http://124-154-97-225.homet-ip.homet...eeeerrrrrrkkkk <--(I deliberately altered that address just in case any of you got curious. If you are going to go to a scam site you do it on your own without my help) That is not even remotely close to the URL in the email.

Well the scam would be no good if there was not such bank. Heh.
They are just sending this out to any addy they can get their greedy scammy hands on in hopes that someone they send it too will have an account there and be gullible enough to click their fake link, which I am sure will look exactly like that actual banks web site.

yea, once I tried to sell something on craigslist and the person buying tried to say that they sent the $ via paypal, they were pretty good, except that when I actually tried to log in my paypal that there was no $ actually in there, called up paypal and they said that the info was all fake and to not trust the person that I was dealing with.

Okay, I use USAA....that's funny.

I've been using USAA since '96. They have posted on their main website about that phishing scam MN wrote about. All emails I get from companies, I delete them. They want something, they gots to call me on my handy. I fell for that shit once on ebay, I'm not falling for it again. People DO SUCK.
