Hello everyone!
This morning I got the following e-mail:
"Subject: Moneybookers: Money received
Body:
You've got cash
Greetings from moneybookers.com! We would like to inform you that you have received a payment from [email protected]
Payment details
Amount: USD 689.56
ID: 234556... See more Hello everyone!
This morning I got the following e-mail:
"Subject: Moneybookers: Money received
Body:
You've got cash
Greetings from moneybookers.com! We would like to inform you that you have received a payment from [email protected]
Payment details
Amount: USD 689.56
ID: 23455643
Subject: You must use the link below to accept the payment.
Note: https://www.moneybookers.com/accept.php?payment_id?=23455643
Your money is waiting for you : https://www.moneybookers.com/accept.php?payment_id?=23455643
We hope you enjoy your cash.Use this link to accept the payment : https://www.moneybookers.com/accept.php?payment_id?=2345564
etc etc etc"
This is obviously phishing (why on earth would anybody send me money for nothing [I feel a song coming up]? Besides, in the e-mail when I put the cursor over the links and check the address, they redirect to a totally different website. That doesn't show here, though)
I want to send the offensive e-mail to Moneybookers so that they can analyse it and -just maybe- find a way to dismantle the site, but I cannot find an e-mail address at their (real) website for said purpose. Does anybody know where to find it?
Thank you
Andrea

Dear Andrea
It seems really fishy!
"Why on earth would anybody send me money for nothing"
Right you are.
Many a time, I get a lot of bulk mails saying 'Congratulations! You won a lottery...":D:D:D
But they are from sites, which are easily identifiable as spam but spam from a money transfer organisation like moneybookers is a matter of concern.
Please keep us posted what happens to this 'mail scheme'.

Dear all,
The mail sent at security@blablabla bounced :|
I finally copied the offending e-mail and logged in to my account (wrote the URL on the address bar).
I clicked:
Contact > Customer support: Messaging Centre > Account/Security > I would like to report a security breach on my Moneybookers account > This is a new case (*)
(*) Definitely NOT a user-friendly method!

There I copied and pasted the scam e-mail I received (with sender info, IP address, the whole works).
Today I got the following reply:
