express-trader.net (fraud)

Postby derisionone » Wed Nov 26, 2003 8:49 pm

I got an email from someone who wanted me to ship him a laptop when he pays by express-trader.net.

Eventually I got lucky and realized the verisign logo on their page was a fake. JavaScript sets the statusbar to https://digitalid.verisign.com/,.... whereas it actually loads http://www.express-trader.net/VeriSign.php

I could have lost over $1400 :twisted:

Well spotted!!!

I never even considered the possibility of JavaScript usage to create a https:// url. Hmmmm, nice 1.

Derisionone,

I'll Have to put you on the team of investigators.

Good eye. I usually check out the "Claims" to cerification. Problem is that some sites (like Yahoo Partners) don't have an easy way (or even not so easy way) of validating claims.

Any thanks for your input.
