This is part of a thread from another list. I suppose most of us are smart enough to look out for this stuff, but it doesn't hurt to remind ourselves that this crud is out there. --doug

Original ones start with your name + account name and never point you to any links. (if they want you to do anything they just ask you to log in the usual main page, ebay, paypal or whatever but never provide you the link in the form the fake ones do)
Also the fake ones point you to sites that have a completely different URL from expected. (although the url text in the email looks correct, the link is to the criminal's url... see where it links to before you click... usually they point to machines that were invaded and are hosting fake webpages... funny enough too see that so many respectable institutions had their computers being intruded...)

Any path is fine with these thieves as all they want is your ID so they can go shopping for free.

One word - SpamAssassin. I'm now officially of the opinion that anyone not using it is simply asking to be buried in junk. Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.

Thanks. While I don't really have a major problem with spam (I simply don't open the mail; it's obviously spam from the subject and my mail client is set to text-only anyway) I do have a friend with a windoze box that I will point to SpamAssassin. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"
