Phishing By 419
from the mix-and-match dept
Scammers looking for the latest trick in finding suckers have figured that two scams must be better than one, and have tried combining a phishing scam with a "advance fee" 419 scam. Basically, the scam involves an email sent to users saying that a large sum of money has been deposited in a bank, and gives them the login info (similar to a 419 scam). However, it's done at a fake bank website (like a phishing scam). Then, they ask for the user's real bank account info in order to transfer the loot, and the scammers go to town with the real bank account info.

... and the idiots that fall for this latest scam deserve to get royally screwed.
Yes, they do deserve it because anyone that thinks they are going to get something for free from someone they don't even know needs to be fleeced.
