EMAIL ALERT
(Thursday) A new twist on a not so new scam -- from the inbox today:

Dear Earthlink valued customer,

[Shouldn't that be "valued EarthLink customer"?]

We have noticed that an un-authorized access attempt was made to your account at www.earthlink.net. Our security software has blocked access from the intruder to your account, but the un-authorized user's attempt managed to replace the password on your account.

The password has been restored for mail and internet access, however the intruder may still be able to get access to your account and or any personal information that you might have used with your account.

To avoid further problems with your account such as credit-card number, or personal information loss we advise you to replace the password to your account as soon as possible.

*To change your password, click the button below.

Yeah, sure, I'm going to give these guys my password -- even if I could. These scammers are so incompetent that they couldn't even do the html link right -- so it didn't work.

By the way, the return address on the email: earthlink903629@netscape.net -- as if the corporate EarthLink people have to use Netscape (owned by their main competitor AOL) as their ISP.
