Just like the post I made about Bank Phishing, today I received an email supposedly from eBay requesting to change my registration information. Well of course if you read my post from the other day you already know that I am very aware of spoofed emails that are phishing for personal login information. Guess what? This is a spoofed email that appears to be from eBay but in reality it is not. I confirmed with eBay that this is in fact a spoofed email and they are working to disable the site that it is currently installed on. [Click image [...] Read more »
Belated Christmas Gift
I know we are almost in February but I just found out today that I was given a Christmas Fruit Cake from my good friend Dan. I can’t believe that I didn’t get it till today but I still do appreciate a good fruit cake. I just want to thank Dan for this fine gift which I will keep for myself and not share with others, atleast not yet… Maybe next Christmas I will pass it along. ~ Phil Read more »
Bank Phishing
Today I received and email from what appeared to be J.P. Morgan Chase which if you don’t know is a very well known bank. The email looked official and actually would lead you to believe that it came from Chase. Have a look at a screenshot of the email (click to enlarge): Looks pretty good except for the fact that there is a couple of spelling mistakes like Complate instead of Complete, and why is the C capitalized anyway? The sentence under “Please Note:” If we do no??? Shouldn’t that be NOT??? Well anyway to make a long story short [...] Read more »

Do you get a million catalogs in your mail everyday and can’t stand it anymore? Pay a visit to www.catalogchoice.org to remove yourself from unwanted catalog lists. From the site: ” Catalog Choice is the free service that lets you opt-out of unwanted catalogs.” I just joined today and will check back in on this post and let you know if I stopped getting all this mail.
