 Quote:

May be the correct address stated there, but something tells me if you scroll over the link the place it takes you to is very different.

Most people don't do that and then of course are shocked when their accounts get compromised. Can't say it was hacked because.. it wasn't. It was phished. And they were too stupid to prevent it by doing the most obvious thing. Don't click links in e-mails. Go directly to whichever companies website the e-mail is supposedly from by entering the URL manually (or from a previously saved link in your browser) so you KNOW you are at the correct website and not a spoofed website designed to fool a fool into giving out their login name and password.
But that's too difficult for some... so they deserve what they get for being stupid in my mind.

I'm not an expert or anything but isn't a phising attempt a scam?

If you ever have a question regarding an email you can always create a petition or forward the email to [email protected] outlined in CCP Sreegs' blog.
We will post the latest phishing attempts that have been reported to us here. Whenever this is updated we will always change the date in the subject line. This is so you will know when it was updated last.
