This shortURL address has been reported to be forwarding to a PHISHING site.
http://alturl.com/3xbes was forwarding to: http://ou.af/9WtPsM?athxrl Do not visit the URL -- it is not to be trusted -- we post it here for only for reference in anyone tracking this abuse. ShortURL.com is a URL shortening and forwarding service allowing users to make a Short URL which forwards to another URL. The website URL that this short URL was forwarding to was impersonating another website in attempt to gather sensitive member data including usernames, passwords, and/or credit card information from users of AOL, craiglist, online banking, paypal, ebay, or other online services. You may have received an email which appeared to be from one of these providers, but it was sent to you by a scammer hoping you would follow a link in the email and enter sensitive user information. If you have used this URL previously and provided logins/passwords or other data-- immediately change your password and other password related data such as password reminder questions with the company that was being impersonated and report to them that your account was compromised. Make sure that your other account info with them is still accurate, such as the email address. Remember, only visit their website by typing their domain name (eg. ebay.com, bankofamerica.com etc.) in the browser address bar rather than following any links. Even if you for example just bought something from ebay, you could coincidentally get a fake email that same hour from a scammer saying that you have a purchase issue and to follow a link to rectify it. Always treat any email you receive as a potential impersonator (phishing) email. You can hover your mouse over a link to ensure it goes to the correct domain, but be careful because scammers will created addresses that at first appear to be using an authentic domain, such as secure.ebay.com.anotherdomain.com. Who's responsible for the email/message you received? Most likely the person(s) responsible used a mass mailing program and list to send out thousands of emails (just like spammers do), and you were one of many recipients of the fake email. They know a certain percentage of people will be a user of the service that they are impostering. |
