Well the blogsphere is alive with posts about the latest Google slap to people who have received compensation for linking to other sites. Now I don’t perform this practice on any of my sites so I have not personally suffered. I may by posting this post, but Google is really a small percentage of my traffic.

New type of Phishing message
June 23, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Well as the fight against spammers garners some victories the spammers fight back in the form of a new phishing message. I’ve sure you have all recieved the ones telling about some rich uncle who passed away and now they need you to help them get the money out of the bank. You give thme your bank account information and they are going to put millions in your account. When all that really happens is the spammers clean out your bank account. Well I saw a new one today where they offer you a job. I would post the message, but I don’t want to be associated with this type of content. You take the job accepting payments form their customers and put the money in your bank account. Then you and the fictitious company split the profits. Of course you will need to give them your bank account info. I’m sure if you do this then they will clean out your account as soon as you give them the info. Hopefully any people won’t fall for this new scam. If something is too good to be true it probably is.
