Several online gamers have been hit by a spate of phishing scams which target Neteller users.

The online money and payment transfer service has this week warned consumers of a new scam designed to target their funds.

The site claims a criminal has set up a fake Neteller site where customers are told a company representative will call them up to check their details.

As with many phishing scams, customers are encouraged to enter their account details on a fake website.

Neteller is now urging customers only to use the official domain name when getting in contact with the firm.

Soon online gamers need no longer worry as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 is expected to offer an advanced phishing filter.
