Websense Security Labs have discovered a new scam in China that’s ingenious. Not only does it hit unsuspecting victims in two ways, it uses search engine optimization to make the fakers seem legitimate.
The first move is for the criminals to post real company names like Sina and Taobao, but with fake phone numbers to BBS. This establishes the “legitimacy” of these numbers associated with real companies, and gets them ranked high in search engines by clever use of search engine optimization.
