Scammers Targetting Innocent People & Sony Insider With Job Postings

The life of a webmaster sure is a weird one. I’ve been hacked before, and scammers have used my sites in the past to advertise their products or steal e-mail addresses from various databases. I’ve even had one website completely defaced with foreign text and weird pictures associated with an online clan.

It’s worse than I thought – someone (name withheld) spoke to these people and told me about it:

I recently seen an ad on craigslist about a job in accounting. I sent my resume to a Thomas P Ford. He then sent an email back to me to set up an interview on line with a Gina Simms Via Yahoo messenger. I had never had an online interview but thought it was something new. the interview started out okay then she said that I would be recieving a check from fed ex that i would need to cash and then send western union to a Ms. Gibson. after everything was confrimed i would then be recieving my office equipment to work from home. Gina had already told me that i would not be able to contact her via the phone because she is deaf. This is all sounding a little fishy. The reason i am contacting you is because they gave sonyinsider as there website.

This is obviously a scam. Ignore it.

You may be wondering why I’ve attached the Corporate/Media categories to this warning. Well, since the scammers are sending people to that area, it is most effective to have this warning there.
