Be Careful with e-mail Addy's

Be Careful with e-mail Addy's

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not to be the e-mail police, but I realized something on this forum that I think everyone should think about.

Tonight I received an e-mail that looked like it was from e-bay. It stated that my account was going to be closed, unless I "updated" my personal information. It asked for bank accounts, credit cards etc. I recognized it s a spoof right away.

Here on the forum we often post our e-mail addresses in threads, and that is prime for any unscrupulous person to take it and attempt identity theft with.

I knew it was a spoof e-mail right away. Because I do not use my regular e-mail account for e-bay, I use a hotmail account. When someone on the forum asks me questions, I will sometimes give them my regular account, but if you e-mail me from my profile it goes to a hotmail account.

Not preaching...(well maybe I am) but be careful out there, posting your e-mail on a thread is not the best idea IMHO.
