Deze scam doet, zoals de meeste, al jaren de ronde. Een scam is simpelweg oplichterij via het internet.

Dit e-mailbericht biedt je uitzonderlijke informatie aan: naar verluid zit er een fout in het Yahoo E-mailsysteem waardoor je iemands Yahoo Mail wachtwoord kan te weten komen. Hiervoor moet je wel eerst zelf een e-mail zenden naar een bepaald adres met daarin jou eigen gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord. Als je dit gelooft…

Dit is één van de teksten die de ronde doen (er zijn variaties met hotmail):

— DIT IS BEDROG — THIS IS A SCAM —

Hey, there! I spent many years and countless hours, but I've
finally found a way to get any Yahoo! user's username and
password information, and it's remarkably easy to do!

Here is the procedure:
************************************************
1.
Write an e-mail secure_pass_00@yahoo.com with "MemberPW"
(without the quotes) as the subject.

2.
In the text field, type the screen name (not the e-mail address)
of the person you want the password of all in lowercase letters.

3.
Press [enter] once (leaving no blank lines).

4.
Type in your own yahoo account information.
(Your login):(Your password).

5.
Send the e-mail.
************************************************
This prompts the automated secure password bot to send the
desired information to your yahoo account, rather than to the
person you're hacking.

For example, the person you wish to hack has a Yahoo! account
named "cindyhot4you" with your screen name being "roger513"
and your password "nyrangers"

Your finished e-mail message should look like this...
========================
To: secure_pass_00@yahoo.com
cc:
bcc:
Subject: MemberPW

cindyhot4you
roger513:nyrangers
========================
Once Yahoo! discovers this "glitch" in their system, they
will undoubtedly fix it.  PLEASE use this carefully, and
intelligently.  If you are going to read someone else's
mail, remember to use "MARK AS UNREAD" before you logg out
of their account so they don't know anyone was there.
Also, don't change their password, or else they will for
sure know something fowl is happening with thier account.
One other thing, don't send any mail using thier account.
This will backfire because eventually the person the mail
is sent to will contact your target and it will be known
that someone else had access to their mail.  Have fun, but
be smart and safe!
