Hi all --
I just got a spam in the mail in html format and did some investigation and
found the following:
First, the mail claimed to be from a firm called "internet banking trust"
from the support department, and asked me to "sign on" and enter my bank
account numbers so I could do internet bill pay etc.
Now obviously very few people would do this, but I decided to save the
message and look at the html source to see if I could learn something.
Now I put the source in Notepad and searched for "sign on" and found the
following...
The hyperlink for the sign-on was a raw IP address 200.205.216.74 which I
copied and went into internet explorer and tried going to that address to
see what I'd find, with no info as to who I was or the return email path.
But when I got to the link I got a 403 error page with the following
message:
-------
HTTP 403 (Forbidden)

Anyway, happy surfing and have a truely happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving! --le
