Now we have to look out for bogus Web ads
The always-interesting Techdirt has a story about a new phishing scam.
This one tricks you into giving out your credit card number by placing a normal banner ad for discount airline tickets.
You can catch the current generation of the scam because they get too greedy. After stealing your credit card number, they put up an error message and tell you to send them a money order. If you see that happen, call your bank and cancel the charge.
