[QUOTE="donna723, post: 346222, member: 1883"] I get emails like that and they always end up in my spam folder - I just delete them without opening them. I get ones that say there is some kind of delivery problem witih something I ordered, ones that say an email I sent has been returned, and even some that say that I sent them to myself! I don't open ANYTHING that is in the spam folder, no matter what. The sneakiest ones lately are the ones that are supposedly from my internet carrier saying they are suspending my account because of some kind of problem! I don't know all of what it said because it was in the spam folder so I didn't open it. I have a package deal on my home phone and high-speed internet, both through our local phone company. I went on the customer service part of the phone company website and asked about it. They answered saying that they don't ever request anything by email, it would be a phone call or a letter and that basically it was a 'pfishing' attempt by a bunch of scumbags who have targeted the phone company customers. But then they wanted me to forward them the information, which I can't do without opening it so I didn't, but at least I know for sure that it's not genuine! Folks, I think the lowlifes are gaining on us! [/QUOTE]
