WARNING: Account Scam In The Wild

I have been getting bombarded with account scamming websites to my email for the past 2 months. Here is what they look like so you guys can be on the lookout.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY OF THE LINKS, THEY ARE ONLY THERE TO SHOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

Everything may look legit, but ITS NOT. The emails links are covered in html tags that look like the real thing. The way these scam lookalike sites works, is by completely copying the original sites source and the login boxes send the scammer your account details to their email address.

Example Code With Covered URL

Code:

<a href="http://secure.nczotf.com/cgi-bin/plaync_login.htm">https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/accountManagement.pl</a>

Example Link With Covered URL
https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/accountManagement.pl
