The YouTube “Warning: Your inbox is full, message not accepted” Scam

Recently a scam spam has surfaced that claims that your YouTube inbox is full, and that you have to go clear it out (another version of the same scam says that “You have 2 unread personal message”). The email, claiming to be from “service@youtube.com”, has a subject of “Warning: Your inbox is full, message not accepted” (or, again, the “You have X unread personal message”), and advises you that “You can reply to this message by visiting your inbox.” The link to your “inbox” of course, which looks like “http://www.youtube.com/inbox?feature=mhsn”, actually goes to a malicious site – so far we’ve seen it go to https://web.archive.org/web/20110815060535/http://lliamamor.com:80/breakfaster.html, https://web.archive.org/web/20110810150832/http://motolover.50webs.com:80/sykes.html, https://web.archive.org/web/20110616073817/http://mizban-ins.com:80/calculative.html?, and https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/brick-wall/.
