I do not have a Paypal account, I only used it twice and both times it was for here and I used a CC I did not open an account with them. The first time was for a donation and the second was for the membership upgrade. I got an E-mail saying it was from them and I had to update my account info within 1 day or be locked out of my account. There was a link to click on, which I did not do. I had gotten an E-mail similar to that one months ago saying they were E-Bay etc.....which I know is a scam and I figured this is the same thing.
The thing is, I also had an E-mail from the support dept. ( or so it says) of the place I use for an extra E-mail account saying my account was used to send a huge amount of spam E-mails. It said I would be banned from using my E-mail account if I did not click on a zip file and follow the instructions. I did not click on the file either
I did send a letter to the owner of the service asking for validation of the E-mail etc. So any way my question is, am I just lucky or do you guys get the phishing E-mails also? We only started getting this stuff since we went to broadband :new_Eyecrazy: We keep updating our Virus program and have a firewall, I do the thing with ad-aware and spybot to get rid of adware etc. Is there something else I should be doing ?
