JM has a schizophrenic Bro, SM or Brian, and wants us to believe that all the harmless spam including the Single Dad with a *wink* in the end to be  really harmless. And now that his name has become famous in the spam world, he wants to undo the harm.

I am just plain sick of it. And I have decided to remove the posts.  However, I have got hold of a blogger friend, who wants to keep the posts alive. Here are the Links.

Link 1: The story of the Single Dad

Link 2: When spammer strikes back.

Link 3: The trail of mails.

Peace.

HDFC BANK ALERT. The mail surely looked like a spam, but was surprisingly in my Inbox. What it had to say is shown in the pic below.

The Link shown here (netbanking.hdfcbank.com) actually redirects to a marcharbel’s org site, which I’m not going to link to.The site has been disable by now, but just tried hitting it (in Firefox) and was pleased to see the results. Here’s what happened.

Hence proved, Firefox rules. Public Service Announcement: Please enable your status bars for your browsers. For any suspicious URLs given in mails, please check the actual URL to which the link provided in the mail is actually pointing it. It appears in the status bar when you have the mouse over the link. Best Security practice: Never reveal financial details like bank account no, User ID, password, PIN no, DOB, personal details in mails. And yes, if you feel any sort of suspicion, it is best to Google for it first. There are scores of websites providing information on such scams and all of them are indexed by Google. Until next time, Surf Safe!
