I recieved an e-mail purportedly from Earthlink saying that they could not process my CC. It linked you to a web page that asked for credit card/debit card info, including your PIN for your ATM card. I e-mailed Earthlink and they said it is a fraudelent site. If you use Earthlink and get this e-mail, do not reply, but contact Earthlink, as they are trying to get that site shut down. Hopefully, there will be criminal charges lodged against the owners of that site. |

I've received two such e-mails within the past eight weeks. The first one had a return e-mail address at a yahoo.com domain. It would be nice if Earthlink had some message board on their webmail page (which is usually how I access my e-mail accounts) to notify users of such scams. As far as I can tell they do nothing proactive to inform users after they know users are getting these e-mails. |
