An E-Mail Scam

In my e-mail today, scattered between the false Microsoft patches, was an e-mail that informed me that my credit card was charged $234.65, and it was probably because of charges to a child porn site. If I felt this charge was a mistake, they wanted me to type in my credit card number and then click the YES button in the e-mail.

Nice try, scumbags. I am not falling for it. Instead, I pressed delete.

If you get an unsolicited e-mail that asks for your credit card number, password or social security number, delete it. It is a fraud. Only give out this information when you contact a company you wish to do business with; never give it out if they contact you.
