WireImage Fraud Spam

June 15th, 2005

Once more another SPAM , but this this devilous … just another way to swindle people . I recieved this email twice in my INBOX today . Interesting thing is : i used to be a WireImage subscriber , currently not . And i truly thought that they still had me in their database and almost fell for it , thinking wether i should log in and reprt that i have unsubscribed . Only being netsavy , i just took a close look at the url before actually loging in … and noticed that the email asks me to login to www.wireimaqe.com/login . Notice it is Q and G … but when typing in small letters , both look almost simmilar . So i am sure many people would not notice it . If you go to this fraudulent site , you will notice it has copied all the current WireImage site structure and images , so it look exactly like the original . I was awed by the perfection and disgusted by the idea .
