Fake Credit Card Overdue Notification Steals both your Money and Identity !!!

A new spam campaign targeting credit card users irrespective of their bank or country is fresh in the wild. If, usually spam e-mails are extremely annoying and at times money grabbing, this time, the attack seems to be so complicated by multi-layers of malicious scams that it is hard for me to believe that one could find a safe way out once in this malicious maze.

And once the sum paid, all his problems go away.

i think there is more chance of us getting hellnoires credit details but it's not fair on people that unfortunately get caught out if they are not tech savvy, i was really naive when i got my first pc, and only through reading magazines week in week out that i learned to be carefull.

Yeah, I was naive myself Jay, but I would never have fallen for that kind of thing without checking it out first. It only makes good common sense to do so.
