I have seen a large increase in phishing emails purporting to "confirm" a cancellation of an Amazon order, announcing that my Paypal account update is available online, etc. All of these messages have links to go to the site and login typically using bizzaro world URLs containing the actual site name (e.g. amazon.com) followed by some strange concoction of characters that will undoubtedly direct you to evil server in Ubickybickystan.
I NEVER click on emails purporting to offer links to my accounts but these cancellation emails can be particularly tempting to act on if they happen to appear shortly after you have made a transaction. I think of some of my relatives and wonder if they could resist.
Anyone else noticed an increase in these? I have seen it in my Yahoo account but not Gmail. Maybe I just got my address added to some bad guy's sucker list.
