WTF?? Why would someone want my craigslist account?

TurboDomestics · 09-09-2009

I was just sent a fake email saying my CL post was flagged. Weird, cuz I dont have any right now....

So I clicked the link, and it took me to a fake craigslist login page. Now what im trying to figure out is what the hell is someone going to do with that info?
Post craigslist ads that will come to mya email address??

Weirdo scammers these days!!

By getting you to click that link in the first place they might have gotten everything they wanted.

Damn it. Really? I knew it was fake as hell, I just wanted to see what info they would gain by it.

What could they get from me clicking on as link?

Anything that is on your computer I'm sure. I got a bad virus on my old laptop from the same kind of shit.

Ruh roh, well hopefully the spybot and avira have got my back!

Go ahead and run some virus/spyware scans before you log into anything important. ie bank account, paypal, email accounts etc.
