Moneybookers
Having been a victim of so many scams on the Internet, I don’t immediately click a link on my email message, especially if it involves my online banking accounts. Here is one example I just got this morning.
You’ve got cash
Greetings from moneybookers.com! We would like to inform you that you have received a payment from moneybookers3@mercantrade.com
Payment details
Amount: USD 275.00
ID: 20505502
Subject: You must use the link below to accept the payment.
Note: https://www.moneybookers.com/accept.php?payment_id?=20505502
Your money is waiting for you : https://www.moneybookers.com/accept.php?payment_id?=20505502
As you can see, the link looks like it will go to moneybookers.com, but instead it will go to http://www.aol.com/ams/clickThruRedirect.adp?1073762100,2147779757×2147568413 and redirected to http://88.2.212.130/campistron//www.moneybookers.com/index.html. I have seen something similar to this one and it used google as a redirector.
So I clicked it, knowing this is a scam and check how this goes. The http://88.2.212.130/campistron//www.moneybookers.com/index.html looks a lot like a real moneybookers site with a login, password and image verification. Since this page is a fake, I put in a fake email and password, and I got in! The next page is another account verification asking for your birthdate, zip code, credit card type, expiration date, credit card number and the CVV, all the information you need to steal a credit card.
May this be a warning to those who get these kinds on email that involves money to check the actual target of the link.
Update: They also use moneybookers_usd@partypoker.com as sender. so watch out!
I just got this too. I’ve never heard of Moneybooker and don’t have an account with them, so my guess is they send it to anyone without bothering whether they really have an account or not.

i would leave my email but im to scared so this is the guys email that i think is trying to scam me
Got mine today. I am very suspicious on this type of emails. I’m glad I found this site to confirm my suspicions.
Always remember, If you don’t personally know them or made contact first, Don’t click on any of their links.
Thanks, MIKE
Got one today. Glad this was here since Snopes.com didn’t have it. I am so sick of people trying to SCAM ME!
