Re: Re: TO EVERYONE IN THE GROUP

It has been happening with all kinds of places.. I am

on earthlink and get an average of 5 of those spoofs a month.

They always say two things: 1. Check the entire headers and the path

should show you where it is really going. 2. If you are EVER in

doubt, log in at the bookmark you already have and go from there. Most

places like to get these spoofs sent to them.. usually at

spoof@... (the company's name and either.com, .net, etc.)

Remember, NO company will EVER ask you to divulge personal info in an

email. Most places like banks have a special mail service, on their

website, which is secure. But, even there, they are NOT going to ask

this info!

THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY INFORMATION IN MY ACCOUNT THERE, IT

SAID THAT IF I DID NOT UPDATE THE INFO THERE MY USE OF EBAY WOULD BE

RESTRICTED. THERE WAS A URL TO CLICK ON THAT WOULD TAKE ME TO THE

PAGE I NEEDED TO UPDATE THE INFO.
