Default eBay/AdSense scam - 08-15-2006 , 04:00 PM






Have you seen that? I have received it several times in the last weeks.
Mail looks like info sent by eBay to someone selling laptop (or something
similar). There is a link to the auction - but url is not that of eBay,
but some AdSense account incrementation. As I understand it the idea is
that you will click just to see the auction out of curiosity - instead of
being sent to eBay you take place in AdSense fraud.

Best,
Borek

PS Is there a verb "to ebay smth"?

I get eBay, PayPal, and many banks that I don't even have an account with
fake emails.:-) I have yet to figure out the stock ones. I really don't know
why those are sent out.

Pump and dump.

You buy a load of shares in a small cap. Send out a billion or two emails
saying they are going to go through the roof. A few dozen fall for it and
buy some shares, pushing the price up (as it's a small cap) and then you
sell.

Would the sender really believe Google pays out when they find out he is
spamming with his AdSense code?

No idea. But if these mails are sent, looks like people believe that. Or
perhaps just hope for.

Only takes one gmail user to report phishing ...and 99% are reported before
I ever get to see them.

Silly way to lose an account!
