If somebody is asking for your password it's a scam!

I get these kind of emails all the time... and I just delete them,,, a good rep company will never ask for your password.. and date of birth lol...

Sad thing is people fall for this all the time...

So true on these phishing emails.
And so many people fail to check the link in the email.
They would see it is a bad link.

My ISP catches like 99% of these phishing emails.

The old rule of ignoring the email and the links in the email and going to the correct link via your browser still holds.
