Don't Open This Email! They Will Steal Your Money! by Fertilenigeria: 7:03am On Jul 06, 2015
Yahoo Boy Email Messages You have Received Recently (Secrete Leaked!). They will send you an email telling you to update your yahoo account information. They now inserted a cloaked link in the message body expecting you to click and submit your information with the hope of updating your yahoo account not knowing that you are send all your username and password to them.

See example I got yesterday:


Account Verification

Dear Valid User

Your two incoming mails were placed on pending status due to the recent upgrade to our database, In order to receive the messages Click Here to login and wait for responds from Yahoo User.

Yahoo Customer Care Team

To know that it's not Yahoo that send this email, right click and copy the link url, paste it in Chrome browser and search. You will see red warning telling you that phishing attack is ahead of you.


These people called "YAHOO Boys" have spoiled Nigerian name in the face of other foreign nationals. They send these phishing emails to unsuspected email users with the aim of scamming them and many people fall prey to their plot.

They use various forms of impersonation, from fine girls, bank representatives, winning promises, scholarship award, traveling allowance, email updates.

All they need is to try and trick you to steal your vital information such as password, messages, or credit cards. Hope you know that most email accounts are linked to many payment gateways e.g PayPal. If they have your email account information, they will remove all the money from your account.

This is a very serious problem and we cannot continue to keep quiet while the hoodlums continue to defraud people. Everyone is a victim here no matter how mart you are.

Many people fall victim to their plots on daily basis while others are being monitored on their rather.

I created this thread for you to learn their tricks and be protected. So, if you have received any message of this kind or have experienced any situation like this, kindly share the message and your experience here.

Let's leak their secretes and educate everyone on this trend. Everyone is a victim of internet or email fraud, do don't read and leave. Share your experiences and advice for others to learn.

Thanks
