Thanks for the update! What did you have to do? Anything besides notifying them? |

I didn't read the message carefully enough. The fact that there were no links, no "click here to access your account" stuff should've tipped me toward the legitimacy of it. I Again. |

Me too, George. Actually, I take it as more of a commentary on the pervasive phishing and spamming that emulates Paypal, eBay, and online banks. |

I get so many phishing e-mails, I've been deleting all of them. Now I see I will have to watch more closely. This is now more of a nuisance than deleting all of them. Grrrr... |

I almost never get fishing emails. Hotmail is really good about flagging them. |

I've tried various spam filters, and they usually interfere with messages I actually want. I have a pretty good system now, and yet a few still trickle through and the Paypal ones still show up. It's far better than it used to be. Thanks for the heads up, Jon. Had you not shared this, I might have missed a legit one. So now as I delete, delete, delete ............ I'll think of you, you, you. That's quite a legacy, Jon.
