I got an email this morning which read:
Dear Member,

Yes, “Messag” is indeed mispelled. Classic phishing attempt. When I clicked the link for Bank of America, I went to MyHauBau.com. It looks like Bank of America, but the domain is obviously not right.
I did a WHOIS lookup on this idiot:
Admin Name……….. andrei buzdugan
Admin Address…….. 17461 Lyons Valley Road
Admin Address……..
Admin Address…….. Jamul
Admin Address…….. 91931
Admin Address…….. CA
Admin Address…….. UNITED STATES
Admin Email………. andr3_2004@yahoo.com
He also registered this domain today. He sure did get right to work trying to scam the public. Hey Andrei, want to see your house on PCMech?
Of course, there is a chance this guy is using a bogus address. I wanted to publish the phone number (and did for a minute), but then removed it just in case it was bogus.
Andrei, you’re an idiot.
David Risley is the founder of PCMech.com. He is the brains, the thinker, the writer, the nerd.
Haha, I just got this email today. I didn’t even bother clicking on it, cuz of the dodgy URL, myhaubau. Strange how it was sent to me though. 1) I don’t even bank with BoA, and 2) I’m not even in the US lol…
Nice try, Andrei. But you didn’t fool me.
I got it also and did the same thing as David. I’m w/ BoA so I called their fraud division and gave them the info
