I never open those kinda things..NEVER...I keep a list of spoof addys in address book and those kind of things go to THAT, whatever co it is. Have yet to get a responce saying any of those were legit. Even if I did I would go to the web site via a new window and do the entering of URL myself...and see what THAT offered. And I HAVE called at times to ask. I don't usually, just forward the stuff and still get the same answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bashful Bob" <Bashfulbob@xxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 7:39 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: New Phishing Scam Cloaked As Security Update Hi Possible or ID theft or many things. You did the wise thing, I am thinking. If I were to get one from my bank, gotten some from banks other then my own, I think I would call them first before opening anything or going to any place they ask.
