Phishing PayPal email includes web form
June 3, 2009 1 Comment
One of the latest phishing emails with the subject “PayPal Forma ID PP697″ caught our attention because of the fact that it included a complete HTML form inside the email. The phishing is regarding a refund request and the amount would be transferred to your credit card within 5 or 7 days.
The form seduces you to submit not only your credit card details but also your email and PayPal password. This could directly lead to the hacking and abuse of your PayPal account.
The form sends the filled in details to the host hxxp://www.swisstools.net/mailform.asp and when processed it will redirect you to the Italian PayPal web site. When we tested this we got a Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driver error as a result.
Señores de PayPal, por favor recordarme por parte de ustedes sobre dicha cuenta, según mí persona, no dispongo de ninguna cuenta PayPal, es posible que haya alguna información ajena a mí persona, Ustedes en un escrito anterior me advirtieron de phishing, y no les contesté porque no me dejarón su dirección ni su info, ésa fué la razón de no contestarles. De cualquier manera, les solicito me aclaren ésta situación, que créo que es ajena a mí persona. Cordialmente José
