It's another scam, called Phishing. All these folks need is a bite or two and they can become very wealthy, at the expense of you, the "Phish!" They send a e-mail saying somebody has been trying to access your account or give another reason. They ask you to log into their Web Site and give bank information, Social Security numbers, passwords, etc. If you click on the link they send, which you SHOULDN'T do, you'll see that you're at a different Site altogether. It will look exactly like their site though. If you submit the information you've given them all the tools they'll need to steal your identity, wreck your credit rating and steal your money. Financial institutions don't use e-mail to get information from you. If you're in doubt, call them, or log into your account they way you normally do. But "don't" click on that link sent by the Phishers! _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. Jesus said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." ~Mark 6:31 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. God can work through us better when we are not hurrying. We can go very slowly, very quietly, from one duty to the next, taking time to rest and pray between. We need not be too busy. We can take everything in order. We can venture often into the rest of God and we can find peace. All work that results from resting with God is good work. We can claim the power to work miracles in human lives. We can do many things with God's help. We can do good things through God who rests us and gives us strength. We can partake regularly of rest and prayer. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may not be in too much of a hurry.
