Default Re: Moneybookers

This is a heads-up.

I received an email last week, supposedly from www.moneybookers.com, informing me that my account had received a payment of EUR 359.56. The payment was identified as coming from Absolute Poker, but for me to accept the payment, a link was provided to a Moneybookers "accept payment" site.

There clearly was something fishy going on here since I only had a couple of bucks at AP, so I contacted both MB and AP. AP denied having sent any funds to me, and MB confirmed that this was undoubtedly an attempt to obtain my account details.

Within the next 3 days, I had received 2 more of these messages, each for exactly the same amount, but for payments from different sources. In addition I received a message from MB informing me of a failed attempt to access my account.

Just a heads-up. It's a jungle out there in the cyberether.

There have been a couple of threads about those emails...they are phishing attempts, and a LOT of people got them.
