[Premium-Rx] Be Careful: The eBay HF1000 Phishing Scam

[stephous]

Hello Mac,

Thanks for the thought. I didn't take the bait. The email was about how to
avoid the trap. Just wanted to share with others who might not be
experienced. I learned the lesson 10 years ago. Never send a money order to
a P.O.Box in Jamaica.

It's easy to respond to emails before understanding the consequences. If you
log on securely and find no messages you have discovered the first red
warning light. Someone is Phishing!

Best Regards,
Steve
