Email Marketing is Used for Phishing
Internet business advertising using opt in list or marketing the internet business through emailing has come up even to the unscupolous individual. Recently, I received an email asking me to update my account on paypal, but when I mouse-over the link, it is not poited to Paypal URL but to another website. I did not click it though.
I sent the email and the link to paypal already. Paypal should have fix that website already. If you received the same email, do not even try to click the link, mouse-over it first and if it does not pointing to papyal, that is a sure phishing. Beware! but if you accidentally clicked it, the best thing you can do is to login to your paypal account and change you password.
Opt in list is a good marketing strategy. In fact, there are already people online who justifies this internet advertising a profitable one. The only problem here is that it appears you are spamming emails and worst, your website might be reported to the authorities as one those who are doing unscrupulous thing online.
Though there lots of websites shouting about phishing online, all most all type of scamming are already on the net. Even job sites sometime contained scams. Some of the posted jobs are scam and these are hard to notice sometimes especially if you really are looking for a fast employment.
Be observant when browsing the internet, phishing advertising are every where.
