Non phishing brand attacks

The message attached is not a phishing attack but it is sent with
criminal intent. The scam behind this message is an advance fee fraud.
To get the car the mark has to pay a delivery fee up front. The car will
never be delivered. The criminals will run off with the cash.
 
The point here is that we need to do more than just stop one particular
form of crime that depends on the ability to impersonate trusted
parties. Phishing is a complex crime and any solution is going to
require multiple levels. In particular we are going to need trustworthy
input paths for credentials, theft resistant credentials and
authentication of email messages in addition to authentication of Web
sites.
 
With regard to the 'workflow' issue we need to work through each attack
scenario and decide where in that attack scenario the user is most
likely to notice the authentication credentials. The most effective
point of access is probably going to be the initial email solicitation
rather than the capture site the mark visits after they have been lured
in. For various tactical issues it is best for this group to consider
the Web site authentication process before email.
