I’m accustomed to getting various paypal scam-spams that direct me to a paypal-like page in the hopes that I will naïvely give them my login info. I just got another. This one is noteworthy for the URL:
http://v093707.dd2336.kasserver.com/zero/scampage/
Come on, guys, if you’re going to run a scam, don’t call attention to it right in the URL! There used to be a time when grifters took pride in their work and put some craftsmanship into it. I’m very disappointed.

In the scammer’s defense, you weren’t supposed to see that URL at all. If you’d been using the standard MSIE6/WinXP combination you would have seen the page as it was meant to be seen . . . quite a clever use of tech, really.
Thanks for swinging by, Peter.
After posting this, I did read something, somewhere, about a JS trick that obscured the scampage address, but this was a new wrinkle for me.
