Ooh, pretty. I thought geocities had to be like aol, with those horribly long sites full of flashing gifs, unicorns and fairies and angels, and going down after five minutes of surfing.

This is common phishing.... paypal, ebay, even neopets has had it happening for the last couple years like that.

[linguafranca.livejournal.com]

Has this been reported to Geocities abuse?

[oddball42.livejournal.com]

I have reported it myself. i know my freind has. but the more that report it the sooner they will notice.

[linguafranca.livejournal.com]

I just reported it, too.

Bastards made me dig out my encoder ring!

is the CGI he's abusing, and

http://photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos

I've sent a message off to the owners of fiberbet.net to wake them up, and Geocites to whack the account.

Oh, the _correct_ URL for Yahoo photos is likely to be photos.yahoo.com... I would not know..

Bastards also made my use my html-fu!

Verified URL for Yahoo Photos.

This scam also fucks up your cookies for yahoo, if anyone uses it. ::grumble::

[oddball42.livejournal.com]

and all of this coming in a link from one of your freinds im accts.

[bibliophile0614.livejournal.com]

It's gone now.

[linguafranca.livejournal.com]

Rock on.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

eh...I'd be more worried if yahoo didn't get about 18 phishing attempts a year. Always see the freakin' things

*rolls over and goes back to sleep*

[ihateemo.livejournal.com]

"More" worried? Por que?

[(Anonymous)]

well, any yahoo email owner or group member gets so many damned phishing attempts, or infection attempts, or spam attempts over the course of a year that they have to be a particularly stupid member of the human race to keep falling for them

Not that it doesn't happen though....
