I just recieved this e-mail and for some reason I cant get myself to believe it.
Has anyone else gotten this type of thing? Shoot I cant even find an email addy to find out if MSN sent the blasted thing. If anyone can help...I'd really appreciate any info you can offer.

Hey Charlie, I did some research and that is a fake email. The link takes you to some site that has nothing to do with MSN. So, delete it. If there is some report abuse link in your email site someplace you may want to submit it to them before deleting it, so they can get on the offending site that is trying to steal your info.

Thanks Brian,
I really appreciate your checking this for me. I wasn't about to click on ANY links that had to do with that E-Mail until I could find a way to verify it. I didnt know what the heck would happen if I did :eek: ... Thanks again. You have helped me in a BIG way... I WILL be reporting this A.S.A.P.
Charlie :D

Hello All,
Brian, I thought that I would let you know that I DID report that E-Mail, and to thank you again. Anyone else getting PHISH E-Mails can report them here:

Thanks for that link Charlie - we had a spate of emails supposedly from our bank recently asking for account details - they were frauds of course. There was a warning on our Bank website but some people still got caught.

Good link there Charlie, I had never heard of that site.

Oh, and nice to see you here again. ;)
