It is probably not phish. BigFoot is a notorious
"optin" sender of unwanted ads. To use their
service(s) they tell you in ultra fine print that
you then agree on getting "relevant" promotions
from them. Even when you leave using their
"services" the UCE continues. Since they do have
"sigup" and "optin" records, legitimate
advertisers get sucked in.
I have a niece that got sucked into their "free"
websites and we had to have her discontinue it
and I created a new one for her becuase even
though she left using the services she was still
getting tons of UCE.
Here we treat them as if they were classic
spammers and block their emails. They aren't
phisherman; they're just unethical marketers.

Does anyone know the history of
<http://bfi0.com>bfi0.com vis-à-vis suspected
phishing? I googled them and saw that a lot of
people are unsure. Here are partial headers (up
to my gateway - my info hopefully
changed/removed) of a recent e-mail I received
purporting to be from MetLife - all the links in
the e-mail go to <http://bfi0.com>bfi0.com
(BigFoot Interactive) instead of MetLife. They
appear to be a third party who does
marketing/remailing for other companies: Target
& Capital One for instance. However, I'd like a
second opinion.
I e-mailed MetLife several hours ago and haven't heard anything back.
Thanks,
Dave
