Scambusters, Preventing Internet Scams & Phishing Attempts

This blog is dedicated to help preventing internet fraud and internet scams. Scambusters was a radio show I started in Albany Oregon, but due to defaulted payment by the radio station we took the show offline. Regardless of this issue we still wish to help prevent internet fraud and save people from internet loss. I have been interviewed and featured in various publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times & Daily News, The London Times & AARP Newsletters. Please watch this blog for latest tips and tricks and scams to avoid.

Fake eBay Spoof / Phish - eBay Email Phish















This email (see image above) of course did not come from eBay, it was not formatted well at all, really a terrible job at a scam... the host company where the email was sent is www@host25.christianwebhost.com and redirect emails to AccountsAppleyUp2009@bay.com (bay.com?)
