Wimdu - Your Account Has Been Limited!

Post by AngloDutch »

It seems it has taken this same scammer (see viewtopic.php?t=25902) a while to compile our email addresses. I replied to the original scam (wasn't 100% sure at the time) via a little used email address, and last night sure enough received the following phishing email back to the same email address:

You have broken the website rules and you have exchanged your e-mail with another user through Wimdu platform without having a booking with him/her.
Now you must confirm your account in maximum 72 hours otherwise your account will be disabled.
The process it helps to maintain our website secured. After you finish the process you will be redirected to Terms and Conditions, please read all the content.
You can confirm your account by clicking on the button below.

The return address from this email is the real support address (support@wimdu.com), but the links for 'confirm your account, customer support and terms and conditions' are going to 'wimdu.service.miranaliashrafi.com'. It does look quite convincing at first glance...but the text makes no sense!
