Skrill (Moneybookers) sold my email address, or got it stolen
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to warn you about an email I just received. I signed up with Skrill (moneybookers) less than a month ago. I used a special email address, using my personal domain name and a unique email identifier.
Also, during registration I misspelled my last name, and never bothered to contact them about it, at least not yet. That's important for the rest of this post.
Half an ago, I received a Spam, specifically a Casino spam that tells me I can play poker and start with a coupon that will give me free dollars if I sign up. All links included in the email are uniquely coded (as most spammers do) to reveal my email address if I click on them. There is also a report spam link at the bottom, that links to the exact same address, to reveal my email address.
It's a pretty colorful casino spam email, with a beautiful girl, and some "download now" buttons.
The email title was "★Hi there Harzem <my misspelled lastname>. You have won a Free $21 Chip! ★", and of course sent to my unique Skrill email address. No way on earth they will guess my misspelling and my email address correctly in a single email.
So, just for heads up. If you are interested in getting more spam, you can always sign up with skrill!█ Fraud Record - Stop Fraud Clients, Report Abusive Customers.
