Terminally confused 419er

This is just a straight advanced fee fraud scam, but the scammer seems to want to through in the names of Yahoo, Nokia AND Microsoft into the same fraudulent pitch. Just to add overkill, it's from a "Reverend" too, which a bunch of email addresses which are frankly all over the shop. Oh yes, the originating IP is Argentina of all places.

Phishtank FAIL: hsbcnet.com / hsbc.net

hsbcnet.com is a valid and legitimate website belonging to HSBC. Traffic is redirected to this site from hsbc.net. The site itself is hosted on AS26381 63.111.163.110 which is delegated to an HSBC subsiduary called Household International from Verizon. The hsbcnet.com  was registered in 1998 to a registrant with an hsbc.com web address:

   Domain servers in listed order:

   NS3.HSBC.COM                
   NS4.HSBC.COM                

It's clearly not a phishing site, and yet Phishtank say that it is.

Now, Phishtank does just allow any old user to mark a site as phishing. In this case, the site was submitted by a user called dvk01  and then verified by SEVEN other people as a phish - stuartgrant knack NotBuyingIt cybercrime marcoadfox Aminof theGeezer - although some people have said that it isn't. As a result of this faulty groupthink, 71% of reports say that this legitimate site is a phish.

This false positive has now filtered down to OpenDNS and a number of other blocking services (e.g. Sophos) that are now erroneously blocking access to HSBC.

Don't get me wrong, Phishtank and other similar service can be very useful. But in this case it shows that Phishtank's verification process really doesn't work.. as any actual examination of the web site in question would surely identify is as legitimate.

"llona Timofeeva" scam

There are probably lots of people called llona Timofeeva who are perfectly trustworthy, but this job offer from a "llona Timofeeva" is not.. and it is almost definitely a made up name. So if you are llona Timofeeva, then this is probably not about you.

Another spam using BonBon.net for replies

There have been a stack of fake job offers soliciting replies to a BonBon.net email address lately. These emails don't actually come from BonBon.net, but they are seeking a reply to a mailbox using that domain.

I was unfamiliar with this mail service, but a bit of research shows that it belongs to HotPOP who have been around since 1998 and have a pretty good anti-spam policy and seem to be a pretty decent bunch.. so my advice is that if you get a spam trying to get you to reply to BonBon.net then forward a copy to abuse -at - hotpop.com.

"Re: Intercepted Over Due Fund Transfer!!!" scam

This isn't the first time that we've seen a scam email pretending to be from the UN, but they are often slightly amusing in their pitch. The idea here is that the scammers are targeting people who have already been ripped off with the promise of compensation. Presumably the success rate with this approach makes it worth doing.

Unsurprisingly, the telephone number listed is in Nigeria. Avoid.

Nettms.net / Nettps.net "NetTemps Inc" scam

It's the same scam as this one, but in this case the back-end servers are different.. the mailed replies go to 204.12.229.89 [Hosting Ventures LLC, US] with a web site hosted at 95.64.133.205 in Russia along with another similar domain of Nettps.net.

Anyway, this job offer is probably laundering stolen money or some other criminal activity and should be avoided at all costs.

5 North Street, Hailsham does exist and is the office of a firm of accountants, there are many companies registered at this address. The telephone number is a London one though, not one for Hailsham.

Digging further shows that the deliverylci.com website is hosted at  89.248.162.136 [Ecatel, Netherlands]. The following sites are hosted on the same server:

• Dealcomltd.com
• Deliverylci.com
• Idealogisticservices.com

89.248.162.136 is also a nameserver for other domains:

• ns1.taxreturnsworld.com
• ns1.worldtaxreturns.com
• ns2.itadvancedservices.com   
• s1.oilhost.eu

The domain taxreturnsworld.com was recently mentioned by Brian Krebs as being part of a particularly sophisticated job scam. So, it seems likely that all these domains and so-called companies are bogus and should be avoided.

"I live in a city under name Kirov"

Unlike some other dating scam emails promoting very young women, this particular one claims to be from a 37-year-old economist, which I guess might say something about their target audience. In reality, "Mariya" is probably a fat sweaty male Russian who is trying to scam you out of some money.

Subject: I live in a city under name Kirov

Hello my the surprised Friend!

I understand, that you are surprised now, when this letter has arrived to you. BUT I ASK YOU TO SPEND 5 MINUTES, your time and have read it up to the end then probably it will change your and my life. At first I wish to tell a little about myself. My name is Mariya. To me of 37 years. I live in a city under name Kirov, it is a small city in northern part of Russia. I not married and never was. I also do not have children. I have left school then has finished institute on a
trade of "economist". If it is interesting to you I will necessarily tell about it, but now not in it the purpose dear friend. Recently, I watched TV and saw, that in Russia there are 35000000
women who live without men, and there are such agencies of marriage which have many electronic addresses, and such agency can help to find for women the suitable man. I have gone to one of such agencies, and have addressed to them with inquiry that they have found for me the
good man. They have informed at once me, that in Russia I should search for the good and decent man very long time. Then they have offered me acquaintance to the man from other country, on what I have looked from a positive side. As I know, that at us in the country of the man, do not appreciate women, is possible because women several times more.

In general, I have agreed to strike up acquaintance to the man from other country, and they have given me your electronic address.
