I was sent a link on my MSN from one of my chat contacts that had my MSN ID included in the url and I'm trying to figure out how this scam works...

The site is imglists.com and all that's on the front is CPA offer that rotates.

The link I was sent looked like this...

hXXp://yourmsnhandle.imglists.com

It's a landing page that has a login and at the top it says "Pics For MSN Friends" and you're supposed to use your MSN password to gain access.

My friend said he didn't send anything, but he got a similar link from one of his contacts with his MSN ID included...and he logged in thinking it was real.

So what's happening here behind the scenes? Does it steal your password and contact your friends from the server or does it infect your computer somehow and send to all your friends?

How does it make money?
