Google phishing scam promises a $400 windfall | CNET News.com Fraudsters are using a promise of a $400 prize from Google as bait in a new phishing scam aimed at stealing credit card data, a security expert has warned. A fake copy of the Google Web site hosted on a server in the U.S. displays the message: “You WON $400.00 !!!”, security monitoring company Websense said in an alert Tuesday. To collect their prize, “winners” are asked to click on to a second page that asks them for their credit card details and address, Websense said.
