I just saw this image come into our help desk system at work... it was attached to one of those AOL/Ebay/whatever scams where they trick people into thinking that their billing information needs to be reentered or something of the like. After seeing this image, I have to wonder how stupid people are to fall for these scams? This photoshop work could have been better done by a jellyfish.

bogus AOL warning

I've got some updates to make, but I've got to get some work done before I enter them. I just couldn't wait to post this one.

Haha, in response to your "how stupid do people have to be to fall for this" ... remember that this scam only targets AOL users. That should answer your question as to why the scam is wildly successful. ;)

Well, yah... As a pretty strict rule, AOL users are dumb. Well, maybe not dumb, but definitely ignorant in the ways of computers, the internet, and sanity. Pretty close to dumb though.
