Neteller clients - watch out for the phishers


Neteller customers report that a phisher using US and London addresses to register a faux Neteller domain has been at work this week, attempting to obtain account information that would enable this cretin to plunder your hard earned cash.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of honest Neteller clients have been receiving this sort of email - allegedly from the Isle of Man e-cash processing company:

Quote:

Dear Valued NETELLER Member,

Thank you for initiating your first deposit with NETELLER. As a standard security procedure, your account has been placed on hold temporarily and will be activated once you speak with a NETELLER representative.

This security measure protects your personal information and identity, and is only required for your first deposit; subsequent deposits will not require telephone confirmation.

A NETELLER Customer Service Representative will call you between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. If you would like to be called at another time or have not received your confirmation call from a NETELLER representative, please email NETELLER Customer Service with your name, preferred contact number and a convenient time to contact you.

Or click on this link and confirm your account details:

Thank you for choosing NETELLER.

The link is of course to a fraudulent site where the crooks hope you will give them the information they need to access your account. It's a criminal attempt and a false representation. We're not going to take the risk of re-publishing the link here, but it is from a Neteller-like domain registered by a criminal who gives probably false name and addresses in the UK and USA. These have been passed on to the authorities as a precaution.

Don't ever sign up at Neteller unless it's served from the neteller.com domain. Make sure that on the signup page the URL is : https://www.neteller.com/signup/step1.jsf and that the padlock at the bottom right of your browser is locked (not open).

And report any other attempts of this nature to Neteller, who would like to see international law enforcement run this would-be thief of your money to ground.
