Beware! Amazon Phishing Email

by Kristofer Brozio • July 27, 2012

So here’s a new one, at least for me.. it’s an Amazon phishing email and it looks real only if you aren’t paying attention that is.. This just came in actually and it’s odd timing as I just ordered from Amazon about an hour or so ago.

First off it’s addressed to Amazon and not me as other Amazon emails are

The sender actually looks like Amazon but looking closer the email address is actually: nmx2@ymaill.se which is not Amazon

Then reading on you see a link to Amazon to fix the ‘problem’ but it looks funny especially with the whole ‘login-run’ thing at the end.

https://www.amazon.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=login-run

But that’s not actually the link as the real link it goes to is: http://zontic.eu/amz/update/fun/index.htm

I don’t think I have to say this but I will anyway, don’t go to the above link!!!

Which is obviously not Amazon.

Yeah, so make sure you read your emails carefully and don’t click on anything or else you could get yourself into quite a bit of trouble!!

Please be careful, I’m sure many people have fallen for this already as it does look real….

Mobility Digest Review: Kocaso M760B 1.2GHz 4GB 7" Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet

Quote: “I’m back with another review for you today of an Android Tablet from Geeks.com called the Kocaso M760B which is very low priced. As of right now it’s priced at under $100, and I know most people will not expect a quality tablet for that little of a price. There was a time when inexpensive meant cheap, but cheap as in price but cheap as in junk, but that’s not so here. I was pleasantly surprised by this tablet especially the specs with a 1.2ghz CPU and even a capacitive screen. There was a time when inexpensive tablets only had resistive screens and we all know how great they are?! Anyway, read on to learn more about a decent but very inexpensive Android tablet. “

Netflix More Like WTF?

by Kristofer Brozio • July 25, 2012

So I sometimes watch nature shows, a lot of them are goofy, but some of them I enjoy especially River Monsters. Sure it’s long and dragged out but I like the whole finding out about the creatures and then actually seeing it. For example sometimes there’s a myth behind what it is and how Jeremy Wade will actually explore the myth behind the creature. Sure it’s not award winning TV and all but I like learning about these creatures that exist out there.

Anyway Netflix has it’s so-called feature where when you watch something they’ll suggest others to you with it added to the main page with ‘More Like’. After I was done watching the latest few episodes of River Monsters I was back scrolling though the main page and saw the Netflix recommendation for More Like River Monsters and started scrolling. I saw the usual nature stuff there and then in the list was Analyze That with Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro ? Just how the hell is Analyze That like River Monsters and other nature shows? I think something might be wrong with the Netflix system there….

Quote:
" Today for review I’ve got an interesting little gadget from our friends at Mobile Fun. The product is called the X-Power 3 in 1, it’s a battery, speaker and a stand for basically any portable device that has a standard audio jack. I used it with my phone, tablet and of course my Mp3 player. I have to admit it’s a handy little device and it makes sense to combine three most usable accessories into one portable gadget. So read on… "
