So I think I've been phished.

Today I received a mail from Payza that it asks me to require verification on my account. I clicked the link and it leads me to a page that similar to Payza login page. It asks me for my e-mail, password and transaction pin. Without any doubt I entered them all and when I click submit it redirects me to Payza homepage.

It took me a while before my browser giving phishing alert yet after I entered all my details. I checked that page again, and I facepalmed and hitting my head to desk realizing it's fake. The domain name is account-payza.com and it does not secured with https. Currently I'm struggling to change my password on all sites that share same phished password.

I wonder if everyone here have been in same situation like me.

Nope.. so people do actually fall for these. I always wondered why people go through the effort of creating phishing sites when clearly no one is dumb enough to.. oh well :D

Well it's my fault that I'm not too cautious at that time. Oh well...

I haven't...
I read the url to all websites I am logging into to avoid that...
(Or, using Google Chrome, I check to see if the green 'secure' is there.)

I forgot to check that as well. And yes I'm using Chrome. Usually it gives me phishing alert page but it shown after I entered all my details. Well how embarrassing.

Hopefully you've acted fast enough [changing passwords] to thwart the attempt...

Welcome to the internet. If you get an email like that, close it and go directly to the website, log in and see if they say the same thing.

I wish I could get paid for every WoW and RuneScape phising email I receive. The funny thing is, I have never played those games.

Honestly, I didn't believe anyone fall for that

I'm half tempted to make a python script to feed random usernames and passwords to those phishing sites...

It's actually Payza's way of telling you your password is not good enough. ;D
