If I get any e-mail from any online merchant I have used before, I go to their website by typing it into my address bar and logging into my account from there to take care of anything they may ask for or to check up on anything.
And luckily have never received anything like this. | |

thanks for the heads up.
Those are some nasty fishers.
The feds better be on this webmaster.
I have never seen a pin number.
Just a tip from my shopping experience, a company will never ask you to verify your account via email and give you a link. if you do however, dont cick but go to the manufactors website your self(not the URL they sent you )
And most companies will have your information partailly filled in so you dont have to fill it all in.
What losers these guys are !

I am not saying that they havent, MD, but if we keep just one person from being taken in...
I guess that I just agree that extra information/additional reminders wont hurt anyone.

FYI, if Ebay sends you anything, you can log into your Ebay account on their website and there will be a copy of the message there. If there is no copy it is a scam, which is usually the case since Ebay would never email you asking for info updates etc.
