Re: FW: [QUAD-L] Phisher site warning: Account Review

[Quadius]

NBC News had a story about this specific type of e-mail two days ago.  It seems a computer engineer responded to this e-mail and since he used the same username and password for all of the sites, they were able to get access to his credit cards and various other items.  It's a dangerous world.
