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

I had to reset my pw, do some other security things, etc.

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 stand sit corrected.

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. :lol2:
