OT phishing scam & how to tell   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #7193 of 9331 |

For those of you who don't know what phishing is, below is a prime example.  DON'T give out any information, no matter how perfect the logo is  - the dead giveaway on this one is the lack of spelling skills and no name in the "to" section, but the way to truly tell is there is an "s" after the http: (https:)  meaning secure at the end of http.  Look for that anytime you buy something online, too.
