Message-ID: <405A143E.8090807@ja6.com> From: maillist at ja6.com (ja6.com) Subject: Is this a paypal scam? Hmm, a quick search of ARIN (www.arin.net) and the APNIC (www.apnic.net) reveals this IP is in CHINA. Unless PayPal is hosting servers in China, I would guess it is a scam. Also seems kinda suspect that the IP does not have a reverse lookup assigned to it if it is valid. For example one of Paypal's front end servers is 64.4.231.34 and resolves to www.paypal.com. I wouldn't send them anything, but thats just me. % [whois.apnic.net node-1] % Whois data copyright terms http://www.apnic.net/db/dbcopyright.html *_inetnum_*: 218.62.0.0 - 218.62.127.255 netname: CNCGROUP-JL country: CN descr: CNCGROUP jilin province network admin-c: CH444-AP <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=CH444-AP&form_type=advanced> tech-c: WT92-AP <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=WT92-AP&form_type=advanced> status: ALLOCATED NON-PORTABLE changed: abuse@...-noc.net 20031016 mnt-by: APNIC-HM <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=APNIC-HM&form_type=advanced> mnt-lower: MAINT-CNCGROUP-JL <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=MAINT-CNCGROUP-JL&form_type=advanced> changed: hm-changed@...ic.net 20040301 source: APNIC *person*: CNCGroup Hostmaster _nic-hdl_: CH444-AP e-mail: abuse@...-noc.net address: No.156,Fu-Xing-Men-Nei Street, address: Beijing,100031,P.R.China phone: +86-10-82990775 fax-no: +86-10-82990885 country: CN changed: abuse@...-noc.net 20031027 mnt-by: MAINT-CNCGROUP <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=MAINT-CNCGROUP&form_type=advanced> source: APNIC *person*: Wang Tiegang _nic-hdl_: WT92-AP e-mail: wtg@...l.jl.cn address: 96,JieFang Road ChangChun 130021 China. phone: +86-431-8925217 fax-no: +86-431-8925190 country: CN changed: wtg@...l.jl.cn 20030117 mnt-by: MAINT-CNCGROUP-JL <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=MAINT-CNCGROUP-JL&form_type=advanced> source: APNIC ---------------------- --Jon jschmidt@...ler.com wrote: >http://218.62.43.30/verify.html > >Signed up for paypal 2 weeks ago, and then this came in the mail as a link >in a paypal looking html email asking me to confirm by entering my credit >card/account info. >I've only purchased 1 thing since signing up; it was from ebay from a >longtime seller with nearly 100% positive feedback, and I received the >equipment as expected. >If this is a scam, then maybe paypal has some employees passing new >account info outside the company. > >-jamie- > >_______________________________________________ >Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. >Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html > > > -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
