Re: [Declude.JunkMail] New Phishing Scam

[Matt]

The damn site is still up...24 hours later and these people haven't pulled the site.  I just called their sales line and asked that they find someone at a higher level to direct this to.  It's beyond me how these people can pull up the address in a Web browser and still not get that there is a problem. And for the sake of Internet archiving, let me just state for the benefit of others, A+Net, a.k.a. Abacus America Inc of San Diego, CA, who's Web site is located at aplus.net, has shown themselves incapable of taking appropriate action on one of the most common Internet scams despite numerous reports over a 24 hour period.  One can only conclude that this is the typical level of response that they give to all support issues, and one should take note of this before considering their services.  Other companies, including ones as large and complex as Akamai, have resolved issues within minutes of being reported, as they clearly understood the immediacy of the issue at hand.

I just got off the phone with them. They are still disinterested in shutting down the site. I have been doing some research on a place to report these issues and actualy have someone care. This is what I found Electronic Crimes Task Force http://www.ectaskforce.org/regional_locations.htm This is the Secret Service of the United States. I just spoke with them and they handle these issues. When calling just ask for the duty officer. Of course they will not be available for until Tuesday. So the more people we get to call OrgTechName: A Net Support OrgTechPhone: +1-858-410-6900 OrgTechEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] the quicker we can get the site shutdown.

I called the company just now and showed them the site. Phone calls typically get a faster response. We'll see.

The website there uses all of PayPal's actual images and HTTPS links and forms to provide the user experience.... except the sucker enters their username and password into a form on the bogus site, which then sends the data to PayPal. Andrew ;) p.s. When I discover these, I report them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; they want the message forwarded to them, not as an attachment. So if you do that, make sure that you paste in the full headers. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Bilbee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 2:55 PM To: JunkMail Declude Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] New Phishing Scam Here is a new phishing scam.
