Phishing Scam? http://www.auhhorize.com

[Beller0ph1]

So I get this funny message in my Gmail account the other day. Something saying that my credit card has been charged for a laptop. Immediately, I was suspicious since I would love to have a new laptop, but wasn't shopping for one. Message contents...

The laptopteam.net is actually a link to http://www.auhhorize.net. What does an inquisitive guy like myself do? WHOIS the domain!

WHOIS output...

I was referred to whois.yesnic.com; I'm looking it up there.

Looking at the email was evidence that its fake. No ecommerce site would post your password in an invoice.

I know it's a fake, but what to do about this guy...

I'd just ignore him, too many phishing emails to try to string each of them along

i bet authorize.net would have a problem with him imitating them by using auhhorize.net. i would shoot them an e-mail about it

Benesight is a well-known, well respected company. My employer works closely with them.

I've just finished a 100+ page project on phishing and pharming scams, that one doesn't look all that good or complicated. If you want, send the email on to the antiphishing working group though - they would probably like it.

Pharming is more of a threat these days.... now thats scary!
