'e-mails' seeking your banking or other personal information
as purport or appear to come from :
'e-bay'...(as Earl reminded us the other day, and as provide
a 'link' to go to...)
'microsoft'...( I get these pretty often, wanting my credit
card No. and so on...or giving a 'link' etc...)
'pay-pal'...( see above...)
Anything...or anybody.
'Period'...
If you want to up-date your information with any service, go
to their home page and use the features there, and do not
use 'links' as appear in otherwise probable looking
solicitaions.
They are scams.
Some of them look very 'good' too.
