Do people still fall for this?
 

It scares me to think so...

of course people still fall for it
otherwise they wouldn't bother sending them

scary but true

there was actually an article in todays newspaper here concerning the "latest" internet scam... "phishing" - i thought that term was only used on aol years ago to get accounts and such.

anyway. i was suprised to find out that a front page article had to be done to help these people not get scammed by such an obvious email.

there was a big one in Oz recently lots of peopel got scammed out of tens of thousands each
simle email similar to this
the media had to publish it over every newscast, radio news bulletin on the hour and every newspaper for a week - and STILL people got scammed
WTF?
How can anyone be so dumb?
who are these surfers?
and more importantly - how do we get them to our sites??? :Graucho

i dont ever do biz via email.

Only paypal (which is takin a risk lol) & ebay shit.

Anything else is done via phone. :glugglug

I get flooded with emails like that for ebay, paypal and others... it must mean lots of stupid people still get tricked by it.

they sure do

i got the same for barcley UK today

ive seen a few for banks here in aussie, i think 4 or 5 different ones. the thing that tipped me off first was that i didnt have accounts at any of these banks :Graucho

Yep there are a thousand suckers born a minute

Exactly.

Must still be making money outta this shit.
