They didn’t even make an effort to hide the fact that the “From” mail was an AOL account.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Look at all the idiots that voted Obama.
What is even more sad is that the phishers would drop this kind of attack like a hot rock if people didn’t fall for it in droves.
Just got one from ADP_Netsecure. Also, I keep getting stuff from Verizon about my non-existant Cell Phone account.
Too bad it keeps coming on my Sprint Phone.
Idiots.
I get stuff like that all the time; email claims to be from the government or banks and has a .hotmail or .gmail account.
If it didn’t work, they’d quit doing it.

Some of the scams are pretty sad.
They don’t even seem to try very hard any more. That could change though. Capitalism is best among thieves. The stupid ones starve.
Dear Chase customer,

It’s the law of averages at work. You send out a million such e-mails. If one percent of the recipients are stupid enough to fall for it, you’ve got 10,000 credit card numbers.
There was a scam YEARS ago, some people set up what looked like an ATM in a public place like a train station. You’d stick your card in, enter your pin, and it would say “Sorry, unable to complete this transaction.” A few days later they picked up the ATM, which had recorded all the cards and pins. That’s why I never use an ATM unless it’s attached to a bank building.
