Beware - the phishing campaigns are Yahoo flavored now
Jul 14, 2008 Scam warnings
Wow - I have received about 12 emails today supposedly from Yahoo telling me that my Yahoo ad campaigns are coming down and that I need to log in and update my information… great - glad they are telling me.
Except that I have no Yahoo ad accounts.. and that the email isn’t coming from Yahoo….
If you get emails like this… definitely do your homework before you give up any potentially damaging info.
None of the actual companies like Yahoo, Google, eBay or Paypal will EVER email you and ask you to supply your username and password or call anyone and give up card numbers.
Avoid the scams… the only reason that these things happen is that people keep falling for them.
Be safe online… and God Bless,
Wade
