(I received this from my brother who is a computer technician.)
Below is an email that I received. I have called Earthlink and learned that this is a fraudulent email. It looks so official, but when I clicked on the link, I noticed that it was requesting ALL information about me including email address, password, credit card and bank information. It also was not on a SECURE site indicating that the information could be retrieved by anyone. That prompted me to call Earthlink since I could not understand why they would need this since the information had been provided before. Click on the link and see how official it looks.<o:p></o:p>
Earthlink was aware of these type of emails and stated they have located some sites sending them and shut them down.<o:p></o:p>
WARNING!!! PLEASE be careful of anyone asking for this type of information from you. Never�?NEVER give out this information over the 'net. PERIOD!!!!
