How do these work?

Hey, how do sites like this : mmoMailer.com - Ready, Set, Scam! work?

What do they do once they send the e-mail? How does the account get back to you? Sorry, noob scammer :P

Well, all I know about the technical aspects of it is that it spoofs the headers on an email so that the sender seems like someone else. This is a real old technique and if I'm not mistaken, is usually done through a pHp script.

As for you second question, the accounts usually get back to you by you setting up a phishing site that looks legit to a user. You link the site in your email, and hope they go to the phishing site.

Ah, thank you! I just need to search for a guide to set up a phishing site now. Thanks for your help!
