> I agree with you, in theory, but that wasn't *exactly* the > case with me. That Yahoo! notice looked very official and > I didn't want to lose my 5-year-old account The part that gets me is that in those 5 years you've never heard of phishing scams like this? Any email asking you to re-enter your account information, especially if they want you to re-enter credit card info, should be regarded as suspicious. If you get another "official looking" request and you're not sure, contact Yahoo (or whatever org is looking for the info) directly (and I mean go to their main site, do *not* reply to the email) and confirm things. sb (And do *not* give any bank account information to anyone from Nigeria, no matter how much money they promise you!) | |
