[Guide] A twist on phishing - 06-21-2008

As you all know, phishing for WoW Accounts has gone on since day one. People have wised up, become smarter as there are many new anti-phishing sites. I am here today to teach you a few lessons about being smart, and being safe.

************ATTENTION**********************************
First I would like to say that PHISHING IS ILLEGAL! It is considered impersonation of a company and you can be sued in a civil court! As far as criminal penalties, I am not so sure, but I do not encourage you to do ANYTHING illegal, I am NOT responsible for what you do with the information in this guide, and I am NOT involved in any SHENANIGANS PEOPLE!

To put a twist on an anti-phishing guide: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I will be giving you the Anti-, the opposite of what you SHOULD do to outsmart your victims

Watch out for “phishy” emails: If you are going to use an email list, make sure your e-mail looks LEGITIMATE! Use an anonymous mailer such as MMOmailer to make letters look like they came from Blizzard, also don't over-do the emails! Stay within boundaries, do not send to people who know each other or the scam is RUINED!

Don’t click on links within emails that ask for your personal information. : If we want to get anywhere, we want to encourage people to click on our links. Make sure the links are visible, but not TOO visible. Discreetly throw a hotlink on the copyright information at the bottom of your email.

Beware of “pharming.” : Not going into this topic, its VERY ILLEGAL and TOO dangerous to talk about.

Never enter your personal information in a pop-up screen: Do not put other advertisements, and make sure your hosting does not have popups!

Protect your computer with spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and a firewall, and keep them up to date: Virus protection is not idiot protection! Make your emails and website look legit and the readers will fall!!!

Only open email attachments if you’re expecting them and know what they contain.: DO NOT attach anything to your emails!

Know that phishing can also happen by phone: Thats right! Only have a name and password for that full tier 6 character? Look him up on the phonebook and CALL HIM UP! Get what you need! Be creative!

Be suspicious if someone contacts you unexpectedly and asks for your personal information. Don't be a retard and ask right away for someone's information through e-mail. "Lure" the "phish" into your site!
