More phishing.

More phishing. I went through my junk folder looking for a note from Viking (stoves). They still haven't responded to my question. That company needs to get its act together; when you sell high end stoves your customers expect a certain level of service. Yet another company bent on shooting itself in the foot. On the plus side, it was fun taking the stove apart. Its been backfiring a little bit lately and I wanted to see what was going on. There's a little spout (I've been calling it a penis, but hey) off the burner that sends gas to the igniters and its become corroded. I cleaned them, but in the process made the peni shorter. Really need to order two new burners.

Anyway here was my favorite from my junk pile of the many many phishing scams. It was for PayPal. The jist of the email was that PayPal had discovered some irregular behavior in my account. So please log in and verify that everything is ok. Here's the punchline:

... records click on the following link <a href="...202.136.18.237..." target=_self>https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run</A>Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please understand that this is a security measure meant to help protect you and your account. We apologize for any inconvenience ...

Notice the link. The href="...202.136.18.237..." is where you'd wind up, and that's not PayPal.
