New Paypal phish contains fake order and payment details to mislead receiver
September 27, 2009 Leave a Comment
At MX Lab we intercept quite often very good phishing emails. This newest PayPal phishing email came to our attention because it contains a false order and payment transaction in order to mislead the intented receiver.
The intented receiver will open such a message and notice that a payment has been done towards, in this case, the account robertoelectronics for $440. Of course, the receiver will try to stop this transaction and use the Dispute Transaction link further down below.

Here is where the phishing starts. The URL points to a site hosted on a server with IP address hxxp://201.116.109.181/www.paypal.com/us/webscr.html?cmd=_login-run.
Be aware that with such messages you should be extra carefull. Take a look at the senders from address but more important where the URLs are leading to.
