When I order something from Amazon not long after I get emails from various phisherpeople claiming to be UPS or some other delivery company. The messages are coming through an old email address that is badly spam filtered.
I had that very thing happen to me on an order from Amazon about ten days ago. The phishing was via a note from UPS that they couldn't deliver a package, but to get it I had to give them my credit card number ... at the time I was surprised, since it followed close on the heels of one delivery and right while I was waiting for another. So, almost plausible. But as usual, the phishing email was so clumsily written and executed that there was no question but that it was a fake. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
