       Experts "Kaspersky Lab" recorded atypical phishing newsletter with an offer quick loans. Typically, spam emails, affecting the banking subjects, are fake notices from banks, which tell about the problems with the bill and require the recipient to take urgent measures to prevent its closure. In contrast to these "classical" detection scheme operated a distribution uncharacteristic theme lending scam and was not aimed at stealing the login and password of online banking. sent letters to one line promised to forgive the loan. In this case, attackers cunningly used the technique redirects to complicate the detection of fraudulent site service providers and representatives of short links.

       Thus, the reference in the letter led to a specially created site-cap, which then redirect the user to phishing pages, disguised as profiles of major banks (Sberbank, Houmkredit, Tinkoff Bank of Moscow), the official resources for these very banks.
