Phishing Across The Pond
Intro: this is a brief account, excerpted from the original which was much longer and had more detailed forensic information. I decided not to publish it since it might be under investigation but several traces of it are still publicly available if you know where to look.
I have to admit, I am often amused by the level of deviousness that goes into scamming, fraud, etc. Email phishing is particularly interesting because it is a specialized form of social engineering fraud which is filtered through technology and preys on the naïve and their understanding of technology.
