Gone Phishing

Dunno why but I decided to follow up on one of those "Your PayPal account needs updating" spoof's. They certainly look the part. Just write any old bollocks in the sign in page and you get asked to input the following:

"Update Your Paypal Account:
Enter Your Information

Your Address Information - Begin building your profile by entering your name and address as you have it listed for your credit card or bank account.

First Name:
Last Name:

Address 1:
Address 2:
(optional)
City:
State:
ZIP Code: (5 or 9 digits)
Country:

Home Telephone:

Work Telephone:
(optional)

Credit Card - Update your credit card for your security

Name on Credit Card:
Card Type :
Number on Credit Crad:
Expiration Date:
Card Verification Number:
PIN: (Why is your PIN required?)
Bank Routing Number:
Bank Account Number:
Mother's Maiden Name:
Social Security Number: "

Why would anyone fill this out? I mean, there must be some people that do else the spoofers wouldn't carry on!

The bit that made me laugh most was when you click the "Why is your pin required" link it gives you this:

"Why is your PIN required?

From December 10th 2004 PayPal requires your Personal Identification Number. This is the latest security measure against: identity theft, credit card fraud and unauthorized account access. PayPal will verify it with your bank records for your own protection.

If you provide a wrong PIN your account will be suspended for unauthorized account access. Due our latest security improvements PayPal became a global leader in online payments."

How cheeky are these people...?
