Value Net, http://www.value.net is an ISP located in Walnut Creek, California, which I have an account with. It appears that a scam artist decided to set up http://www.valuehelp.net, which copies the site design, logos, etc. and pops up with a javascript alert saying "This is a secure Value Net server," and has a place to enter account info & credit card. They then proceeded to send email to Value Net customers telling them that they needed to go there and re-enter their information, including credit card info.
It looks like this is some new scam going around. The exact same thing just recently happened to one of our competetors. They took the ISP name, made "www.(ispname)billing.com", then proceeded to email all their customers the exact same scam message. Beware. -Dan
