New Phishing Attempt

We are currently being bombarded (we got about 6 of them overnight) by a swathe of emails purporting to be from PayPal.

 

Coming from: cashback@cash-paypal.com

 

Message says we have sent a payment of $61.30 to some organisation we certainly have not. There is no such payment showing in our PayPal account.

 

The text invites you to follow a link if you have issues with the payment.

 

The link text is underlined in BLUE so looks like a genuine PayPal link. But when you mouse over the link it shows something entirely different. Something like Royal Bilgic Hotel. Which is a real hotel somewhere in Turkey.

 

Anyway I have FWD'ed it on to spoof@paypal.com.au. They can deal with it.

 

Just thought others should be aware of this one.

Re: New Phishing Attempt

We received yet another attempt overnight.

This was worded a bit differently to the last one.

The email subject heading says the following (see below).

And embedded in the email was what looks like a receipt. But it is really an embedded HTML link.

 

So again... please nobody click on the link.

 

You sent a payment of $750.80 AUD to eBay International AG‏
