Phishing spam

[womzilla]

... is evolving quickly. It seems like only a month ago I got my first phish e-mail claiming to be about an eBay item I hadn't paid on. Today, I got one which set off a shocked "this must be wrong! I have to investigate!" alert that was almost tangible--a fake invoice for a $1,999.97 computer system through Amazon. (Now that Amazon sells pretty much everything, Amazon accounts are a great target for phishing.)

I hope the author gets everything he deserves, and hard.

Some months ago, I decided that even if I ever wanted a Paypal or eBay account, it just wouldn't be worth it, since I'd have to spend so much time carefully reading through the phishing stuff instead of just dismissing it outright.
