No that is one professional looking scam. At least for a casual web surfer.

Damn, that is good looking! Pretty scary!

Do you know the actual URL, fryman?

Most times I've heard about phishing scams, it starts with an email. For example, a falsified email that's made to look like a credit card company saying something like "Your account has been deactivated. Click here to reactivate it."

In the case of this fake Google site, I wonder how they get people to arrive there.

I don't understand your question.

They prolly get there thru some adware or driveby install that hijacks their browser and pops them there when they go to do a google search....

I have had some dodgy looking emails recently i have had a couple saying i need to re-enter my address into my paypal account due to a new change in the security, when i went to the site it was a funny looking addy and realised i didnt use that email address for my paypal. I guess i may of signed upto paypal in the past with that account and it was real, i was taking no chances though

And the other i had yesterday was off ebay type newsletter and when i clicked on that it asked me to log in, but it wasnt the correct url again as before i dont use that email for ebay.

I deleted the emails over my paranoia of getting home drunk one night reading them and then falling for it

Its quite scary how good phishers are becoming

lol, just a tip to them though. if you're gonna ask for credit card info, it should be https:// and try to give hashcode-like addresses.. hehehe

I guess a good thing about having a lot of email addresses (typically, one per site) is that a person receives simultaneous multiple copies of phishing emails...so you can readily see that they are fraudulent.
