Recent Email Scams are shown below (in date order)

We have images of the spoof or hoax email scams on each page, together with any images of the bogus, fake or forged web pages that they send you to. Some of the emails contain forms which ask you to confirm your user IDs and passwords and or banking and credit card information, some just contain instructions to follow to complete bogus verification processes.

Please note that we use screen captures of the actual email and web page forgeries in use - these are captured from the scams that are reported to us or netted in our various email traps. No other person(s) or site(s) have any permission from us to use any images or text from our pages.

Scams of this nature are commonly called 'phishing' - a term used to describe a form of Identity Theft where forged emails and web pages assume the identity of genuine high volume sites or services in order to steal your identity and finacial details (such as site user name, password, banking and credit card, Social Security Number details, etc). See our Brief Guide to Phishing or see the full article here.

Spoofs (a nickname commonly coined by eBay and Paypal), seem to be changing in their approach, we are now being faced with emails that no longer require us to enter personal information into it, instead we are being forwarded to forged web pages. Recently these spoofs have included quite complex script commands which either exploit known browser vulberabilities or to open web pages in a manner which conceals their malicious intent (see our recent report on Phishing trends). Be very cautious of all emails, and read our advice on how to recognise a spoof, email content and links in Part 3 of our article.

 

 

please forward your spoofs to spoof@millersmiles.co.uk
