darkcloudi

Not sure if this is the right thread to be put this info on.

Just received the following email which is believed to be from lik-sang, a firm which was great for imported consoles and games. However closely looking at the email I have found it is fraudlent as I clicked on the link it specified and it took me to another webpage and noticed at the top it said ljk-sang.com ( a 'j' as oppose to an 'i' ) and was requesing my paypal account - just a heads up and make sure no one falls for this scam:

It's risky to click on any links from patently dubious sources such as the one above.

You'd better run some virus checkers, pronto.

Email looked real and thought I was eligible for a refund of some sort - its only when it took me to another webpage and noticed the 'j' in lik-sang in the web browser I noticed it was fraudlent. Lucky I never put my password.

Running anti-virus software now.

Are you owed money?

darkcloudi

Nope - however I thought it may be the points that I have earned through previous purchases at the website may have been converted to money.

Guess it was to good to be true
