Your Credit Card Has
Been Used to Purchase Child Pornography-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor An email seems to be a
confirmation from a child porn website of the use of your credit
card for purchasing a one month subscription for $149.95.
The Truth
This is a hoax and it isn't clear
what the email is designed to accomplish except to torment the web
address and phone numbers listed...which have nothing to do with
child pornography.
The website darkprofits.com says Spam emails are being sent by a
"banned member" of the darkprofits.com forum.
The website describes itself as being "online
anonymity/offshore topic forums."
The phone number on the eRumor is that of Above.net, a legitimate
provider of networking services to businesses.
