Hello greetings family. I just want to make you aware that there are scammers out there. They would like you to answer their emails, making you think that your Provider is going to shut your account down if you don't provide them with your personal information including your password. Well, your provider has your password and can give it to you in case you loose or forget it. Never give your password or any pertinent info to any one, I would also say don't bank online either because of these internet pirates ! They can cause you alot of trouble. Check out this example email I received suppossedly from YAHOO.
Yahoo Customer Care wrote: > Attn:Account User > We are having congestions due to the anonymous registration of yahoo accounts so we are shutting down some accounts and your account was among those to be deleted.We are sending you this email to so that you can verify and let us know if you still want to use this account.> If you are still interested please confirm your account by filling the space below.Your User name,password,date of bith and your country information would be needed to verify your account. > Due to the congestion in all users and removal of all unused Yahoo Accounts, would be shutting down all unused Accounts, You will have to confirm your E-mail by filling out your Login Information below after clicking the reply button, or your account will be suspended within 24 hours for security reasons.> * Username: .............................. > * Password: ................................ > * Date of Birth: ............................ > * Country Or Territory: ................ > > After following the instructions in the sheet, your account will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. Thanks for your attention to this request. We apologize for any inconveniences.
Believe me, YAHOO didn't send this to me, the return address wasn't even a working address. Desperate times call for desperate measures for lost souls. The highlighted lines above are a dead giveaway. Read the whole thing don't skim. Until next time, beware !
