Spammers Using Fake YouTube Notifications to Peddle Drugs

JB

Spammers are attempting to deceive unsuspecting users into clicking on fake YouTube links that lead to a counterfeit drug website, according to a report yesterday from security firm Webroot.

Dancho Danchev writes that pharmaceutical scammers are circulating emails that mimic legitimate Youtube notifications. The emails claim someone from Youtube Support has sent the user a personal message, yet once the user clicks on a link in the email, they are redirected to a dubious looking drug website, Canadian Family Pharmacy.
