Phishing New Email Address
Salomon, like freeman.hunt says, I receive at least 1 to 4 of these daily, but then I have around 60 email accounts. Most are poorly done but they are getting better and they even like using the Logo's too in order to make them appear more authentic. I guess the easiest way for me to know it's BS is I don't have an account with them, lol, so let whoever is going after my money in their institution have all they can get, lol.
In regards to it being sent to a new vigin account only a few hours old, my first thought is of the old horror movie where someone keeps calling and hanging up and the police finally trace the call and they call the victim back and when the victim answers they say "The call is coming from within the house!" I would place a bet that your machine is infected before placing one that a Yahoo employee is to blame. Be sure to get an anti-virus/trojan program(s) installed, updated and run or use a free online service. Chances are your machine is infected and that's how your addy was phished so quickly. You are sending yourself bad mail is most likely the culprit as this is how these malware type programs work, they take addys off people's machines and use them for their vile efforts. Good luck in finding and removing this problem and always be suspect of emails that discuss your financial well being, especially those that regard your personal banking accounts.
