Damn! The phishers are getting good! This one was so good that it almost got me. I even bypassed Outlook turning off the email links to click through!

Here’s the email:

And here is the Web page it takes you to:

Sigh. Plenty of clues, had I been paying attention. First, the email isn’t addressed to me. Right domain, wrong user. Second, Outlook turned off links. Third, and this is what stopped me (in time, I hope), is that the web page uses an IP address instead of google.com. If you go to www.google.com and try to get the toolbar, it’s a domain name.

Moral: even if you know what phishing looks like, you can still be burned.

And now, excuse me. I have to run a spyware/virus scan on my computer, since I went to a malware web site.
