    how can they phish your account unless you enter your login info? Can they really phish your info because you simply hit reply???

    ^ Nope... not unless it's set to refresh to a new fake login... that makes like ZERO sense.

    Another question: What happened to LOGICAL phishing? Why would someone WANT to steal your Myspace? I want to steal your credit card!!

    i know it makes zero sense, but it's true.

    all i did was hit "reply" and immediatly it went to a real myspace page stating that my account was just phished. i immediatly logged out, retyped in the myspace.com address and got a notice saying i needed to change my password.

    like i said, this is very new. it's a website that somehow goes into your bulletins and sends a message to others that posted bulletins, saying something like check out this website... "blabhblah(dot)com" it's getting around the myspace filters by using (dot) instead of the actual code.

    then when you hit reply to tell the person they were phished, WHAM it gets you. WITHOUT you having to log back in.

    like i said i'm very smart when it comes to these phishing scams...i can spot them from a mile a way just by looking at the redirect link (like most people should), but this didn't give a redirect link when you scrolled over "reply:


    it's by the most clever one i've seen..by warning others you get smacked
