Tell us about your experiences and any of the latest scams that you may have encountered.  Let's keep each other aware! Smiley

As for me, the most deceitful scam I ever received was an email stating that my bank required me to login and confirm my current address.  The email had a link which directed me to what appeared to be the login page of Bank of America.  The URL stated Bank of America, and everything looked 100% legitimate.  However, I knew it was a scam for one reason and one reason only ... MY BANK ACCOUNT WAS WITH Wells Fargo! Cheesy

Well, I hope this won't ever be one of my experiences, but this is a good introductory article on "bot herders", and how web 2.0 apps are being targeted.
