Hi Everyone,

Latest Phishing

Just doing my tech duty by spreading the word about the latest trend in Phishing.
(For those that are new to the term, Phishing is a scam where you receive an email in your Inbox claiming to be from a legit company, but the web site is faked only to gain your personal information).

The phishers are also using flash in the email, which currently is not filtered by many Junk email programs. While the junk mail programs are updating (soon if they haven't already), make sure that any suspect emails are legit or not by right clicking on them as the link shows.

Thanks for that. I got an e-card notification the other day that I figured was fake because it didn't look reputable and the link you have to click on goes to an IP address site. I wonder how many people are aware to look out for those.
