As someone else mentioned recently in that other fishing thread, NO legit web site, not Paypal, not Ebay, not Amazon, NOBODY, will EVER send you an e-mail with a link that you have to click to enter account information. If you get an e-mail like that, it is a scam one hundred percent of the time. Valid businesses will tell you to go to the site and log on and enter the information. I would also suggest to you and everyone to TURN OFF all html and xml and Active-X and every single other feature in e-mails than plain text and only plain text. There are just too many ways people can get into your system with e-mails that contain html or other components, even if you do not click on the items. Anything more than plain ASCII text in e-mails is pointless and dangerous. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
