Phishing Scams

[SeaDawg]

Today,I got an email link from oliver mfg@aol.com, encouraging me to look at a japanese website. I believe it was a scam, and did not open it. (For your protection, I left an intentional space that did not exist between oliver and mfg). The address was not an address I recognized for anyone at Oliver.

 

Has anyone else had the same experience? Or is this something that just eluded my three spam filters??

Sherry,

 

I've never seen that one. You were probably wise not to go there.

Sherry,

 

I got a message from the same address, as well. It was probably the same message that you got, since it was sent to about 500 people, according to the recipient list. It was supposedly from Evon Oliver. The address is, in fact, the address that I was given by someone at Oliver about two years ago to use to send them messages. The use of English in the message is clearly not that of someone who speaks English as their native tongue. I did not click on the link.

 

I suspect that one of the computer systems at Oliver has been compromised.

Haven't got one and it sounds like phishing (not fun like at Lake Greeson, though!)

Ya'll missed a great time!

Yeah, the phishing at Lake Greeson was a lot of phun.
