Recently, I received an email that turned out to be what Search Engine Roundtable has termed as Yahoo! Search Marketing Phishing Email Scam. Couple of days ago, there were reports surfacing of Google AdWords phishing email scams. Now that scam has taken a new face and the name of Yahoo! Search Marketing.

Here is a sample of the e-mail, that is circulating throughout the Internet:

The URL that the 'click' takes you to is 'http://yms-source.com/yahoo.marketing.solutions/adui/loadSignin.htm' It is the same ysm-source.com domain. So be careful and don't ever reply to or take action on these types of emails.

There is an active discussion in regard to this concern at Digital Forums.

Here are a few excerpts from that thread:

“Hey guys, Be careful. Lot's of 'bad people' around. My account is just OK. My balance is going to be alive 4 more months. Just take every letter like this seriously and dig in its details like person who sent it and other.”

“My GMAIL to automatically shift such e-mails to SPAM Even if its in normal folder Firefox Works smart “

Well, with so much bad activity going around we all need to be extra careful and vigilant and be on our guards till this thing ends.
