[pchelpers] Re: Microsoft Response

Thank you Gerald for letting me know. 
  Compared to you all I know very little. In a class about security I was told 
to call (but not with the number that may be provided on the email) or write 
back to them and ask, making sure to use the right URL and typing it in by 
hand. How much easier would it be to just do what someone here die - just 
checking the link and the IP. I am learning so much from you all. I got a few 
things from my brother who fixed computers and other gadgets (emphasis on 
"few"). But getting everything explained here so nicely, I am starting to 
understand many things much better now. 
   
  The website that a friend told me about supposedly looked exactly like the 
one of his bank, and so he trusted them.
  It is sometimes hard to figure out whom we can still trust. So great to know 
that soon we don't have to worry about these issues anymore!

  Trudy,

Relax! I discovered that this was from MSN Groups. One of the clubs that I 
belong to use it to get exposure for their main website. I took care of it. -

I was wondering if this could be a scam of some kind, to get your new password.
Someone I know got a message similar to this from what he thought was his bank.
After resetting the pw his account got cleaned out.
