Top Rural phishing scam

[stork]

Got an enquiry from josh purcase josh.purcase@cyberservices.com

"Hello, Can you please tell what is total price for one week in July or August? Thank you Josh"

I replied, and got back a partly garbled message, followed by "THE CONTENT OF THIS EMAIL IS NOT SHOWN PROPERLY IN YOUR INBOX DUE TO AN ENCODING ERROR, TO READ IT:…", followed by a link to a webmail that is _not_ mine.

I have reported to TR, but thought you should know too. And google may pick him up here

Of course you verified that the email address had not been faked and was the same as the one you actually replied to?

Google does indeed pick him up here There doesn't seem to be anyone in the entire world by the name of Purcase except our Josh, the famous spelling mistake. However if you Google cyberservices.com you get plenty of hits - nearly all of them with the word 'scam' attaching. Cyberservices.com may be legit, but their web address is widely used for phishing and other internet scams.

Took a brief look at the header, all normal. And I googled Josh.
