New MSN scam

Post by Red Squirrel »

Not sure if I'm late on this one or not but found little to no information on google.

Someone sent me a message something like "this is how we party!" with a link of username.party-picturez.com.

DO NOT SIGN IN TO THAT SITE! The domain is owned by china and pointing to a china based DNS server. Without even bothering to investigate further, it's 99.999% probable that this is a scam to get people's MSN accounts.

Just in case anyone gets this, advise the person who sent it and ignore it.

People are gullible. They see what looks like a msn logon page so they'll just log in without realizing the domain is not even owned by microsoft.
