I love those emails. I answer every one of them.They are always in my spam box.
if you open them up its asks for your login details, you can put any details you like in the boxes, it works everytime.
it will ask for username:
login:
pin:
i would put username: hahaha
login: nice try
pin: loser
it will then take you to another screen for more details, where you can put in all sorts of stuff/abuse if you are that way inclined.
must be frustrating for them when they think they have caught one.0 -
You could waste more of their time if the details you entered looked legitimate.0

if you open them it potentially lets them know that yours is a working email address, meaning you'll possibly get more0

That doesn't tend to happen with phishing emails as much as it does with spam, it would actually be more desirable for an attacker to keep phish attacks per person to a minimum. If someone opens their website but recognises it as a scam there's not much to gain from sending that person more phishing emails as they're not going to fall for it.0 -
