OT: "PatsFans.com Support" Phishing Email

[12+81=TD]

I've gotten a few of these and I can't shut this idiot down, but these e-mails are being sent out:



I'm assuming you guys know it's not being sent from us in the event you've gotten one, but if you do get one please delete it. Some Vietnamese idiot is sending these (their server is in Vietnam) and I'm not having any luck having him shut down so far. Needless to say just wanted to make people aware so no one runs that file that they're prompting for.

Hey Ian, I am a java (Google/Android) application developer and a um...how should I put it? "Reverse Engineer". You can PM me the real link he is sending out and I will try to help you and the site

IP address, etc wouldn't hurt either if you already have it

Nothing I like better than handing out a dose of their own medicine

It's definitely not a mouseover, the part that had me thinking it was an actual ad was the fact that I was getting it on both my iPhone and my PC at home and as far as I know there isn't spyware developed for the iPhone yet. Both seem to happen when I surf this site, but not others.

I don't exactly remember what it is, I'll take a screen shot next time it rears its head.

I just saw it. It's not an "intrusive" which is why it's coming up, but it's not a redirect, just a square ad that slides down into the center - I'll see if I can figure out which one it is and I'll see if I can't disable it.

Careful. It's unlikely that the end result will warrant your efforts. It's also unlikely it's their only server and it could be an innocent person's computer being controlled remotely. And you'd be putting yourself at legal risk.

(PS: Java app developing doesn't exactly lend itself to reverse engineering)

To hell with that, let the man use his skills.
