Flickr E-Mail Scam

I came across this via Digg.

Cameron Marlow at Overstated blogs about a curious e-mail he received inquiring about a photo he was said to have on Flickr. Where it says ‘your photo’ there is a link to a subdomain of a Norwegian football club and the domain of the e-mail’s sender appears to be a British fish food company.

The link takes you to some page that faintly resembles the Flickr look but is clearly junk. It is, in fact, a clear case of spam – and a phishing scam.

Cameron has more about it on his blog and a few links with additional information, so go visit and do definitely not click the link in IE.

IE? Right, of course…
