As if the downtimes weren’t enough for MobileMe users, there has arrived a new problem for them: Phishing scams. ReadWriteWeb has referred to a post from Computer World which tells of how users are receiving phishing emails, which are shockingly written without any grammatical mistakes.

Here’s a snippet of the email, in case you’re one of the MobileMe users:

"Welcome. We were unable to process your most recent payment. Did you recently change your bank, phone number or credit card?

To ensure that your service is not interrupted, please update your billing information today by clicking here, After a few clicks, just verify the information you entered is correct."

Although common sense can help you in not falling for such emails, 100-200 .mac users were scammed in a day. This has been a very smart move by hackers to gather info such as name, addresses, credit card numbers, passwords and more by timing these emails with the .mac to MobileMe switch for old users. So a word of caution for all MobileMe users out there, don’t fall for these scams.
