RED ALERT: Fake e-mails abroad purporting to be from Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money

Fake e-mails have been spreading from bandits, who impersonate the payment processor Liberty Reserve and / or Perfect Money. Con artists are trying to steal your personal log-in files (account-number, password and more secret codes) of your e-currency account.

These fake e-mails contain the following misleading:

Dear Sir or Madam,
===============================
Thank you for using a Liberty Reserve service.
This letter was sent to your Liberty Reserve account.
===============================
As you may have noticed, Liberty Reserve's website was offline or undergoing various software upgrades a few weeks ago because of the need to apply some new security updates to the system. Everything is fine now but we need you to confirm your account with us. Please click on the following link and verify your account info by filling the form. This is done because there is a chance that some accounts do not function properly with the newly updated system and we would like to ensure that you are the genuine holder of the account. In case you don't fill all the fields, and an internal system conflict occurs between your account and system database, your Liberty Reserve account will be locked down for an unknown period of time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
Please click on the following link to verify your account:

Please, accountholders of Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money:
1. DO NOT OPEN OR REPLEY THESE E-MAILS
2. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN THESE FAKE E-MAILS
3. DO NOT, ABSOLUTELY NOT, FILL OUT ANY KIND OF FORMS IN WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR PERSONAL DATA AND LOG-IN FILES LIKE PASSWORDS AND SECRET CODES.

Con artists and scammers may attempt to send you fake emails which are called phishing attacks. Many times the email will ask you to click a link to log in to your e-currency account or open an attachment which may contain a Trojan Horse. The link opens up a very good copied website of the payment processor, which seems to be genuine but it is absolutely not! These are phishing websites! Look at the address of this phishing website in the address bar of your browser and you will see a very small detail in the name. Two phishing sites are well known at this moment on the web: www.libertyreserva.com & www.parfectmoney.com
Look at the difference with the real one Libertyreserve & Perfectmoney
------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ANY PAYMENT PROCESSOR, C.Q. E-CURRENCY PROVIDER, WILL NEVER ASK YOU STRICT PERSONAL DATA AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BY E-MAIL. 
Whenever you log in to your e-currency account, make sure that the right address of your provider appears in the address bar.

Watch Out! and Good Luck!
