BEWARE of SCAM- money to DNC thinking I was donating to Swift Boat Veterans

DNC ^ | 9/08/04 | SDR

Figures the Democrats would do this. What a shameful act.

Resorting to fraud is nothing new for them.

Call your credit company and have them do a chargeback....let's just say it does not look good on the DNC's credit record or merchant profile. Again, no refund....ask for a "chargeback".

Then I must have the same thing. When I put my mouse over the donate link the little box comes up and said swiftvets.com BUT my INFO BAR on my borwzer (FireFox) says.

Me, too. I'm using IE 6.0.

To post a link in HTML, you first link to the URL (donate to dems) THEN add what you want the link to look like (Swiftboat Vets).

I don't think a virus is involved.

This is the ass who steals contributions.

It's not a trojan. I copied Nick's post and changed the links to illustrate what the scammers do. Nick created the email for the Swiftvets. The email html that is the topic of the thread and it's header, hasn't been posted yet.

You can't blame the DNC or anyone based on where the money is GOING. Anyone could be doing this including someone trying to make the President Bush or the DNC or FR or even the Swiftboat Vets look bad.

Why don't you post the email header so we can all take a good look at it?

[Prime Choice]

In order to help determine if this mail is indeed a hoax, I will need to see full headers of the e-mail in question. This will show the true origin of the e-mail (which is very important since 'From:' lines are trivally forged).

I've seen the body of the message enough times now. What I need are the full headers.

It's not a trojan. I copied Nick's post and changed the links to illustrate what the scammers do.

But you didn't tell anyone that. And as you can see from this thread (note especially #173), your doing that confused the hell out of people and contributed to this thinly-disguised effort to scare people away from the SwiftVets.

I've been nice about this, but I'm starting to get un-nice. There was no good intent in starting this thread. This thread is about scaring people. There was nothing wrong with the email, and the email does not send anyone to the DNC. Period.

" But you didn't tell anyone that."

Sure I did. The fact that some folks didn't read and understand what was being posted notwithstanding.

I don't think the thread was intended to scare folks away from the Swiftvets site. Note the number of donations made and the comments verifing authenticity of the transactions.

Since the author of the thread has refused to post the original email html and header, I have to concluded that this is a hoax. It looks like a hoax with the simple intent of smearing the DNC. What I detailed on the thread shows the only way it could happen.
