And then there's the issue of responding to the email, which simply confirms that the spam was sent to a real email address. This only encourages more spam. I make it a point never to respond to such messages. Once you do, then your name is sold again to other spammers as a legitimate email address and you'll just get more and more of it.

yes, I was going to say that, too. If the subject says regarding your account and you don't already have one, it sounds like spam--or, as Dan says, someone trying to get in fo from yuou. I get those from ebay and paypal and don't have accounts so I know they're not legit. The ones from B of A start me worryhing, but once i wrote to them to ask if it was legit and they said know, they'll never e-mail Cindy --- Dan Beaver <dbeaver888@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Regarding Your Mobipocket AccountAmy, You might want to be careful about responding to those emails.
