Beware phishing attempt: Google Wallet for Business Beta
A new “phishing” attempt that is circulating is an invitation to install what appears to be a beta development of Google Wallet, called Google Wallet for Business Beta. The invitation arrives as an e-mail and looks very convincing. At the bottom is a “copyright” statement:
©2011 Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 You received this email because A Google Wallet user [soch0653] has requested to pay you using Google wallet. . Wallet For Business Beta is available free for a limited time. If you choose not to complete registration you will not receive further email communication from Google regarding your invitation.
Consign it to the wastebin — it is an attempt to discover your credit card details and relieve you of money!
