I got sent a E-Card (suposingly) from a postmaster at a website I've never even subscribed too. And to view your e-card you have to sign in on another
website which is identical to hotmail and which is obviously a scheme to get your password. how sneaky... and when I clicked it I wasn't gonna sign in but the email that was saved was [email protected] or something..
I'll get screenie.

Thing is, why would it say Sign in to view your e-card on hotmail.
When 123Greetings (the e-card) and hotmail are totally differant.
I thought stevoslab could do better than that.

the fake hotmail starts like www.wyger.com

I don't really see the point. But this can serve as a notice for people to be aware of it.

Rupsie if it is from stevolabs it was probably be a keylogger.

Thats the site im on about mate ;) Go along with it and look at the hotmail page it says [email protected] if that wasn't there I might of been blonde enough to sign in.

I just wonder how they got all our emails, maybe they saved em from like that time when they got Habbox Staff emails
