Since my catcher account receives all the 'goodness' that is spam, as it is intended to do, I occasionally come across the phishing emails. Blah blah blah, your bank account, your email address, your paypal, blah blah blah. So, out of sheer boredom (and from my Linux box of course), I decided to click these amusing links to 'their' pages.
One such link was a phishing attempt using Bank of America. Asking the usual account details. So, for all the spaces to fill in, fake name, address, and when it came to account details, I just put crap such as: @#)(*[email protected]#()*$&)@(#*&$ , pin number: Xdjf, and so forth. Got to the end submitted the details, and then got a thank you page and was directed to the actual front page of said bank.
So since either they are too lazy to implement some kind of error checking, (even if the PIN number would have at least had an error stating that it had to be only numerical values), I was wondering. How much of their time can be wasted if many people decided to throw such crap information on their fake sites? You know, just like baiting lads, and wasting their time. At least until their site gets shut down. Would there be any real point? Thoughts are welcome. Just something to think about. |

Even without verification, it would still be more useful to actually put in the expected content, though fake.
When expecting an account number: $#$%^$ is obviously fake, 1827645 is not, therefore they'd actually have to try it to find out  |

Thats true. With certain bank numbers though, it is alpha-numeric and not always just numeric. The only thing that worries me is that they might become a little less lazy and decide to verify on certain things, like CC numbers. Obviously Visa, Mastercard, etc, have beginning numbers that ID them as said card. And I'm too lazy to find out what it is, nor do I even want to obviously give them that much.
I just wanted a way to make it that much more difficult for them to actually get anything of value. Just like baiters do with their lads,  |
