BEWARE - NETELLER BRAND IS BEING USED IN ANOTHER PHISHING ATTACK

Online gambling portals issue warning to Neteller users

Criminal fraudsters are again attempting to fraudulently coax online clients of the e-cash processor Neteller to divulge their account details on a fake Neteller site.

This week several portals were warning their visitors to beware of an email claiming to be from Neteller that says:

Quote:

The security procedures require that you verify the activity in your account before December 11th, 2006. Otherwise, passed (sic) this date, our automated computer security system will suspend your account indefinitely.

Neteller users are urged to ignore this email and certainly to avoid clicking on the link it contains. The URL is cloaked and the unwary will be directed to a fraudulent Neteller site which attempts to obtain account details for subsequent plundering.
