DISPUTE THE BILL – LOOSE IT ALL

Today’s phishing variant is one in which you receive an invoice on a paypal account that you clearly did not authorize. The phishing scam provides an instant and highlighted link to dispute the bill. The “dispute transaction” link goes to a UK address and to a domain name that is not properly registered. In other words it goes into the ether and straight to criminals.
