Fake Lik-sang Refund????

[Morpheus384]

Hi All,

I just got this refund email supposedly from Lik-sang. Now, while I had signed up for announcements about the GP2X before I actually got one; I've never done any business with them before. Then I got this email stating that I have a 9,99 US credit coming to me. The body of the text reads:

The top and bottom links appear to be legitimate.

By clicking the bolded "On this page" it brings you to:

http://www.ljk-sang.com/refund/?code=60dd6...d32af41940cbd3f

which appears to be a paypal verification screen prompting me to sign in to my Paypal account.

Notice that the url states ljk-sang in the header.

I'm assuming that this is a fisher just trying to leach my paypal login/password.


Anyone else get one of these? If its a fake, as I think it is, people should be warned.

I wonder how they got your email address?

I wonder how they got your email address?

That's what originally made me think it was a legitimate mistake.

However Ive learned to look at paypal log in screens very carefully; as I usually get 1-2 fishers per month claiming to be paypal themselves sending me a notice of an intrusion, or a new email added/payment made etc etc, then the hyperlink takes you to a dummy site with a login which "on the surface" looks authentic until you look at the details.

If its a fake, and again I could be wrong, then somebodys got access to Lik Sang's mailing list. That would be very bad.

I was just wondering if anyone had recieved a legitimate refund notification, and if it was anything like this.

you could email likSang by their normal email address and ask them. That's what I always do when I dont trust an email.

report this to paypal, they will take action to shut down the web site
forward to spoof@paypal.com

No luck contacting Lik Sang. Trying to login to the site bounces me to the closing announcement. Likewise using the contact via email buttons does the same after entering subject fields. I'll forward it to spoof at Payal. If its legit it wont harm anything, and if it isnt, then at least it will protect others.

 

[Godmil]

oh wait, I hadn't checked out that link... yeah that's definitely a scam. Well done for spotting it Wonder how many people didn't.

Well, I got the same eMail, just checked it and tried it.

First, it says your password is wrong.
On your second try, they say the payment has been completed and redirect you INTO your PayPal Account.

So they fish it with the first try and then let you use it to login onto real PayPal so that you think it is a real site.

I immediately changed the password after that

Definately not Lik-Sang

They must use the fact that lik sang is dead.
