The last thing I expected is that my blog becomes a way to track the path of an international scam campaign. All I did ( or so I thought) was let some steam off when I posted Scammers Are Getting Smart a good week ago. I guess:
- the scam was first insignificant enough that only I posted about it, thus getting the #1 position on Google for the search term “Krbill.llc”
- than it got widespread enough that a lot of people are actually searching for it… I am getting a lot of hits on this post. ( I wish some of the more thoughtful, analytical posts saw this kind of traffic).
Today must be the day of the Australia is invaded: I am seeing hundreds of hits all coming from Google Australia.
I’d like to repeat I am not a scam or security expert, but several commenters to the original post suggested a hidden iframe on the web page will attempt to place malware on your computer, so all I can suggest is:
- do not click the link
- delete the offending email
- run full antivirus and spyware scans.
