PAYPAL PHISHING – WILL IT EVER STOP

We are now receiving at KnightsBridge Castle no less than four separate PayPal phishing attempts every day. It’s starting to look like phishing and spam. To think that anyone would fall for these scams is amazing. But they must continue to work.

In one case today when you click on the PayPal link you actually are clicking on a link that looks something like this: (we changed the URL slightly to protect our readers)

://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LaSV66fNtDg.lmnopkAUoJXNyoA;_
ylu=X3oDMTE2ZHVuZ3E3BGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3M
DMwRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANGNjU1Xzc1/SIG=148vsd1jp/
EXP=1138544186 /**http%3a//61.57.2nn.209/%20/.
confirm/index.php?MfcISAPI Command=SignInFPP

If you can read this URL you know its trouble. We know its theft.

We used to have fun tracing the origin of the sites to Uruguay, Moldavia, and Chechnya. But the fun is gone.

Never communicate with PayPay or any vendor by clicking a link included in an email or web page attached to an email. NEVER.
