Targeted Phishing Scam Hurts

Some dishonourable person is sending me a MoneyBookers phishing scam. The email starts out with “Money Received” and it is quite a sizable sum. I use MoneyBookers to receive the ever possible donations for my WinTumbler tumblr client (none yet, probably because it is MoneyBookers).

Anyway, the scam email’s links all point to the same address: http://contentbank.com.au/app/login/, which is a remarkable facsimile of the actual MoneyBookers site. The fake page even makes use of moneybookers own captcha system! The scam also says that to accept the payment I must click the link… even though the actual procedure is far easier. If someone sends me money it appears in my account automatically.

This seriously upsets me.
