I once lost my e-mail account before. I was playing an online Yahoo game. Someone envited me to play a game with them, so they gave me a link that was NOT yahoo, but it looked exactly like a yahoo login directory. So (foolish me), I attempted to sign in, and it took me to a page on the REAL yahoo to choose from. I was not logged in anyhow. The person used my account to simply clean out my score and apply their points to their own. It was such a low attempt, and I was very dissapointed. My main concern was to gain my login back, and change my password.

IMPORTANT PART: Ever since then, I have been clicking on the "secure" encrypted login to be sure. The one I was using, had an encrypted option, but when I clicked it, it didn't work. *HINT* *HINt*

I got one of these once, except it was for something else, and what was realy pathetic is that it said that if I dont sign up they will take away my birthday huh.gif . I mean come on! Thats just pathetic.

One way you can tell if its fake is that it USUALLY is mispelled here and there, or they say bogus things like I got.

Yea, you gotta hate that, don't you.

Unfortuneately, it's a fact of life that we have to deal with this things. I get alot of penis enlargement spam coming into my email. Most of it is taken care of by my email client (Mozilla Thunderbird), but there's some i still need to get rid of manually.

    are getting better and better. Even the site that links to looks too real. So I decided to share

  11. Email Clients
    Which One Do You Trust For Security? (23)

    those of you who choose your email based on safetey and security, which client do you recommend?
    There are tons out there. Personally, I use GMX.net, it's a German service with extremely high
    security. They have a password meter to check your password for how easy or hard it might be to
    guess, encouraging you to use upper and lower case letters along with numbers. They veri....
  12. Windows Update Email Scam

    Friday. The e-mail directs victims to a fake version of the Windows Update site, where there are
    links to download the malicious "patches." "The email uses the Microsoft branding and style so to
    the casual observer it appears to be legitimate," Gregg Mastoras, Senior Security Analyst at Sophos,
    told BetaNews. If users download the "patches," they are actually installing the Troj/DS....
