More often than not, the popup doesn't work. They're getting shut down pretty quickly, but I'm sure some people are going for it. I usually type in a few obscenities after I send the report to the correct party. They are also getting increasingly sophisticated. I used to be able to tell immediately from the shoddy graphics that it wasn't the real thing. Not long ago, I got one phishing for my Citibank info that I couldn't tell apart from the real thing. It also used to be that you could be careful and look in the status bar (or wherever your particular browser shows you a preview of a link the mouse is hovering over) to make sure it was real. The text on the screen would say "www.citibank.com", but the URL preview would say "123.456.78.90" and you'd know it was a fake. Now they're building URLs in the links with non-ascii characters which display in your browser looking like the real thing, but resolve to a different IP. |
