warning about JunkySpot .. possibly hacked
Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:45 am
this is a heads up about JunkySpot ... and I will parallel this post into the feedback section
it looks like their site has been hacked
yesterday I ordered an item from them ... and got a confirmation message from them about it
THIS MORNING when I was going through my emails I got a very "authentic" looking email from the "USPS"
the USPS email looked very "PHISHY"
it had actual information about my oder from JunkySpot but my mailing address was listed "wrong" ... it had several clickable "buttons" ... none of which I used
I have never ever gotten an email from the "USPS Shipping Services" about any package I have ever gotten shipped by the postal service ... that is was made me immediately suspicious
I would have thought it was only a random "Phishing" email except for the fact that it had actual real info about the order I had made
the bank acct I used to order stuff online is a separate acct just for that ... that I never keep much more in it than it will take to pay for what I have ordered ... so even if they do hit that acct I wont loose more than a few dollars
I will be closing that acct and dropping it from my PayPal acct listing on monday
since JunkySpot does not list a phone number on their website that I could find ... and it their site has been hacked trying to contact them by email about it is useless ... I will no longer do business with JunkySpot
