Phishing Scam Alert - 22/06/2014

Phishing scam alert: We have become aware of an email billing scam being sent to some customers. Customers are being sent a bill saying their previous bill is overdue and they should pay the account immediately.

I have been receiving emails from people I don't know who have private names. One is Alphonso Waller, another is Winston Duke. They claim that the attachment contains details of my account. I have not opened the attachment because of the suspicious nature of the email. Has anybody else received these? Is it correct to delete the email straight away as I have been doing or should I delete from my Mac altogether?

Fake APPLE Account verification Phishing Scam Alert

Hi guys I haven't managed to find a link to inform APPLE directly of this scam, so here are the details..
I recieved this email to my registered Apple ID address....
The link below connects to http://www.mesinpertanian.com/apple.htm which is obviously a fake phishing page.
It goes without saying that this is a fake site that just wants your credit card and ID details.
Dear Customer,
It has come to our attention that your account Billing Information records are out of date. That requires you to update your Billing Information. Failure to update your records will result in account termination.
Click on the reference link below and enter your login information on the following page to confirm your Billing Information records...
Click on http://store.apple.com to confirm your Billing Information records.
Thanks,
Apple Customer Support
if anyone knows how to inform the chaps at APPLE so they can close it down. Please forward it.

Very interesting. The WHOIS for mesinpertanian.com is different from kingofcostumes.com, which is the domain that is being used in other scam emails that are being sent out using the very same stationery and message. The latter is in New York, while this one is in Indonesia. Here it is for anyone who is interested:

Is there a "Safari Alert" phishing scam that asks you to call tech support at 844-877-7978

Is there a "Safari Alert" phishing scam that asks you to call tech support at 844-877-7978

Yes, it's a scam. Do not call any phone number.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.

The message is very clearly bogus, full of errors of every kind, right from the start: "Dear Apple Custumer,"
The fact that it came to my own iCloud address worries me since usually such schemes are to a broad group, like "[email protected]"
I have forwarded the email, with Long Headers, to the fraud-combating websites. Can't find any hint on apple.com/support as to where at Apple itself to direct it.

Re: Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.
YES today in the UK, the email text is as below, together with several Links to "Apple" sites and an Apple logo and European support address.
Fairly crude but could fool naive users.
Any one know how to get to the addresses behind the links without clicking them? Just copying and pasting as plain text doesn't seem to work. Any other way just copies the Hyperlink.

PSA Phishing Scam

Got a voicemail today stating that my account could be credited $31 by visiting 31verizon.com and entering my username and password. 31verizon.com is regisitered to someone in the Dominican Republic and was regisitered on 7/3/2014. Looks like a phishing scam and thought I should warn people. Stay classy y'all!

Thank you for warning us.
It is a scam alright.
I have had the last few days two (although diffrent wording). Risk.
Thank again for the wording a lot of people will red it here.

Where do I forward an e-mail message that say it's from Apple, but appears to be a phishing scam?

I received an email with a reply address of [email protected]
Here is the body of the message:
"As we strive to secure your account, please be informed to upgrade to our latest security platform *****
Your privacy and protection is our concern.

However, the embedded link does not go to a secure Apple site. Attempts to forward the e-mail to Apple get a reply stating that messages are not monitored. Anyone know where I should send the e-mail? TIA

Here's the Apple paper on the topic. It seems the scammers are hard at work. Your post is the second in a short while reporting a phishing scam.

CBE collections debt, or phishing scam?

Hello,
I've been a verizon customer since 2006. I've kept the same number, but switched plans twice (from family to individual a couple years ago, and from individual to prepaid very recently). About a month after switching to prepaid, I started getting calls (up to three times a day) from CBE collections group about an outstanding debt from verizon wireless of ~ $35.00. I've always paid my bills online, using autopay. When I checked my online account (which I've had for years), my balance was zero. I've been to both of the local stores, and both told me as far as they could see, my account balance was zero and in good standing. I've called verizon probably half a dozen times (with hold times up to an hour and multiple dropped calls), and talked to both customer care and financial services. Everyone has been very confused, and told me my account is in good standing, and I owe verizon nothing, and they didn't know how to help me. The most recent customer care rep actually told me with certainty that this sounded like a scam to her, and I should block the numbers and report it to the police.
When I've talked to CBE collections, they've told me they can't give me any kind of verification unless I give them my verizon account payment password (!!!). However, they assure me that they are 'not a scam'.
Given my recent plan switch and the fact that CBE collections has a partnership with Verizon, I'm 90% convinced this is actually a legitimate bill that is being handled very badly. I hope it's in fact a phishing scam-- if it's real, I am extremely angry about how it's been handled. I am very seriously considering changing providers.
Under the circumstances, I am hesitant to pay CBE without some kind of verification from Verizon. How do I go about getting a written verification that this is a legitimate debt, when customer care has no information? If it's not, how do I get a written verification that I can use to challenge any damage that CBE has done to my credit score?

CBE Group - Debt Collection Solutions
They are a legit company. But I would not give any account password or social security numbers or verify anything with them.
They could be zombie debt collectors or collectors that have no right to your Verizon account.

Phishing scam

Be aware that there is a Verizon wireless phishing scam . Victims get an E mail purported to be from Verizon. It is a bill.
If you get this very official looking E mail, forward it to [email protected]

KaLin I do not have a wireless phone. I can not go to that forum. One of my sub E mail accounts received a phishing scam E mail. Perhaps, you as a forum moderator, would see that this message is conveyed to the wireless forum. I need no help!! I do not pay any bills I have not accumulated. I only wished to inform others. Many of our forum members also have Wireless phones.

Phishing scams

Short story: I have no idea where I should go to report phishing scams specifically involving Verizon.
An hour ago I got a call (I have AT&T wireless service, not Verizon) telling me about "free $36 if you just enter your account information at this website", the website being verizon36.com
Thankfully, I know how phishing scams work, have the Web of Trust addon, and the NoScript addon, so I was pretty safe, but the call was from (800) 922-0204 - a number associated with Verizon - so the number was spoofed.
So, why would I want to bring this to Verizon's attention? I would assume they would have motivation to deal with the maliciously used possession of the domain "verizon36.com". (It was just registered yesterday, by the way, by someone in Santo Domingo. The whois: http://whois.domaintools.com/verizon36.com) If someone were to take the domain veriz0n.com, verizzon.com, verizonvireless.com, and start running phishing scams using the impersonating domain, I would assume they would be interested to know as well.
Essentially, I scoured the site for some place to report phishing scams targeting Verizon customers, and came up empty.

Verizon posts under Support / Announcements a number of notices about phishing scams that appear to be emails from Verizon. Why can't the email servers detect these bogus emails and either block them at the server from making it to the user's accounts, or appending "POTENTIAL SCAM" to the email subject header.
I am sure that the actual original example shown are blocked, but the spammers keep find ways of disguising them so new version keep coming through. Usually includes some pointers to servers they keep changing.

It's a scam. Just delete it. You can also report it to Apple. http://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/

Phishing scam from I-tunes store

I have received an e-mail that seems to be a phishing scam. It looks like a legitimate e-mail from Apple but it says that I purchased something from the I-tunes store and it asks for payment in Euros. It directs me to a site that tells me I can cancel the transaction by submitting my credit card info. I don't believe this is legitimate.

It's not from Apple, it's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details - you could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]
Emails from Apple tend to be personalised (not 'dear customer' or similar), and are in proper English.
(You can view your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
or on your phone you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com)

How do you REPORT Phishing Scams sending personal messages in these Forums?

I've looked high and low, and I have no idea how to report a user. Nor how to report Personal Messages of the following nature:
I first realized it WASN'T actually a Staff member after I saw current forum status as a regular "member", then was further clued in by the "English" used in the message body.
Why isn't there "Report as SPAM" and "Report PHISHING SCAM" options in the mailbox? Once you have been here for a while they are likely easy to spot, but it's obvious they are targeting those who just barely set up their accounts and are receiving other mail in the inbox automatically from the server.
Not sure if this will just be deleted but here is the abuser's information:
Avatar is a "Wrench" and this person then uses a "24 / 7" Image
Their NAME in the Message is: Support Analyst 24x7
Their message was as follows:

further communication.

Well, I did notice a report function, on "some" of the forum boards, as an available side bar tool. But I still have no idea where, or how, to report Personal Message Spam and Phishing scams..
As that is something that really bothers me, I guess I will move-on to other Forums and check back here from time to time to see if this has been addressed.

I believe verizon is doing something very dangerous. The last time I logged onto our verizon account it asked me to confirm my email address. I indicated that it had not changed. It said that i would receive an email asking me to validate my email address. This was fine but the email I received is attached below (I Xed out the three-digit code). I am sure it is legitimate but no business should ask customers to enter their user id and password on a page reached through an email link such as this!!! This is what phishing emails do. To ask customers to do something that a consumer should NEVER do is just plain stupid!
I suggest you change this procedure immediately.
I have forwarded the email to the FTC who want to be informed of such dangerous practices.
(I tried to reach website tech support security by phone about this. I got a big runaround. I spoke to at least 5 people and finally ended up back at the initial 1 800 VERIZON voice system, at which point I gave up)
Dear verizon.com customer,
Thank you for taking the time to update security components of your Verizon online account. Because security is a top priority at Verizon, we'll need you to validate your email address at this time. To do this for your Online Account with User ID STPAULS129, you will need the following three-digit code:
XXX
Please visit this link to input the above three-digit code and your User ID and Password.
This is normal practice for every single website i have ever registered an account with. Even websites that have nothing to do with payment. Such as forums, game sites, and social networking sites. The thing that makes it legit is the fact that they are telling you " you will recieve an email in a couple of seconds. " If you recieved an email out of the blue, THEN You should have worry for caution, but if you recieve one seconds after reading " You will recieve an email in seconds " on the webpage, then you know that its a legitimate email.
