janestarzSomebody's trying to trick me into 'verifying' my 'e-mail account'. An account I've had for years.
From: "Yahoo!" <janestarz@_yahoo.com>
To: janestarz@_yahoo.com
Subject: Your Yahoo! ID - janest arz@_yahoo.com
Dera Yohao! Mebmer,
We mtsu chkce ttah yoru Yaho!o ID was reretsiged by rlae peolpe. So, to hlep Yhaoo! prevent autoetamd
rtartsigeions, paelse clikc on tsih lnik and cometelp cedo verfiication pssecor:
www.yahoo௦.com/?Pir2enTDFOf8Shkg8zkr6l59b59o9WhjwUIvP25gdv8bFVRju
Thakn you
Note: (the link pointed to a google domain search or something).
This was in my bulk mail three times, each one the same misspellings and garbled words. It's actually readible- but not to an extent that I would possibly believe Yahoo would mail me this...from my own mail address!
I forgot to forward it to the spoof@yahoo.com address, where you can send mail that pretends to come from yahoo itself. Next time though. I mean, three mails in two days I was absent from the net can't be a coincedence.
On the 419 - need inspiration to mail my Lome Togo sugardaddy back. Hand over yours now!
EDIT 19.25 : in Mozilla I get the garbled stuff. In Konqueror I get the real stuff with added spaces, and when copying the mozilla text and pasting it into Xchat, I get real sentences.
NoKey says something about 'codes' mixed in. Weirdness.
