Re: Deceptive Moneybookers PHISHERS - BEWARE!

Thanks a lot man.
What exactly happens when you click such a link?

I did not click it, but if it's like other phishing scams, you'll get taken to a page that looks exactly like the moneybookers login page, where you'll be prompted for ur login name/password. Most sophisticated phishers even rig it so that it looks like a legitimate Moneybookers URL in the address bar...so often mousing over a hyperlink in the email will be ur only clue that something's fishy. (Well, also you'll presumably be unable to log in to the "fake" MB website because it's just a sham page to steal your login info...so if u try and log in, i'd guess you'd get some kind of "sorry, site down for maintenance" message...then within the next 24 hrs before u realize something is amiss, the scammers will have done something bad to your monies.)
