Hi everybody,I received a strange mail a couple of days ago, from a guy saying he was from hotmail maintenance, saying to follow the instructions as described in the attached PDF.NEVER DO IT, of course.By curiousity I went to the site of the sender: it doesn't exist.I went to the site they say: smsvc.net/msn[dot]com A similar page as the hotmail appears asking your address and passwordIf you also received this mail, make sure to change your password, and check what sensitive infos might be stolen.The whois doesn't give infos about the owner of this site, as it's has a private protection.Does anyone know how to act against them? Black listing this site isn't enough, I would like the owner to be officially known as a THIEF.Thank you

This latest scam has been initiated by an email pretending to be of Bankof America trying to convince the recipients of those mails to dial up a toll free number to sort out their account related problems.Callers can then be easily directed to PBX(Private Bank Exchange) over VOIP that runs an IVR(Interactive Voice response) sounding much exactly like that of the bank's own system.Dialing that number will prompt the victim to enter in their account number and secret PIN . Equipped with that information one can easily have access to the system.So its advisable to not dial phone numbers received through emails instead the numbers should be double checked with that printed at the back of card before dialing.
