888 issues alert
Special to the Journal
The Better Business
Bureau is warning consum
ers to keep their guard up
and their wits about them
in order to fend off a new
string of phishing e-mails
making the rounds this hol
iday season. Following are
three phishing e-mails the
888 has spotted: .
Shipping
Hackers have created
phishing e-mails which pre
tend to be from shipping com
panies claiming that there is
a problem with delivery of
merchandise. Commonly, the
e-mail will include a hyper
link for recipients to click
that will take them to anoth
er web site that might install
malware or solicit personal
information.
A message currently mak
ing the rounds has a sub
ject line that looks like,
“Subject: Tracking Number
13040065504.” The body of
the message claims that a
package couldn’t be deliv
ered and advises the recipi
ent, “To take your package
back you should print the
copy of invoice that is in
the added file.” Of course,
the attachment is actually
a virus that will infect the
computer if opened.
888 advice: Instead of
clicking on the link in the e
mail, go directly to the ship
per’s web site or contact the
company via phone in order
to confirm whether there is a
shipping problem with your
package. Do not open attach
ments to unsolicited e-mails.

"Always remembered"
e-mails are circulating pre
tending to be from retailers
such as Wal-Mart. One e
mail has a subject line that
reads, “Online Survey from
Wal-Mart Stores!!!” And the
body of the message states,
“This survey has been sent
only to a few people from
our random generator!”, and
“You’ve been selected to take
part in our quick and easy
nine questions survey. In
return we will credit S9O to
your account - Just for your
time!” Ultimately, the e-mail
includes a link to a web site
where the recipient is sup
posed to take the survey, but
in fact leads to a phishing
site.
888 advice: Do not
respond to unsolicited e
mails that promise money
for answering surveys.
E-Cards
Typically, with legitimate
e-cards, the recipient receives
an e-mail with a hyperlink
that will take the user to
the e-card which is housed
on a website. Unfortunately,
by design, e-cards are an
extremely easy way for hack
ers to disguise their phishing
e-mails and direct users to
their web sites which install
viruses and malware.
888 advice: Phishing e
mails posing as e-cards can
be difficult to spot. Spelling
and grammatical mistakes
are a huge red flag. Also,
don’t follow the link in an
e-card if you don’t recognize
the name of the sender.
