| Scams are the bane of internet life. Most of these scams try to get you to reveal your username and/or password for a particular group or service that you belong to. NEVER reveal your password to any account or service at any time! Valid services/groups will NEVER send you e-mail asking for your User Name and/or Password. When in doubt, contact the administrators of the service that is perporting to ask for your password. In most cases you will find that they never sent you that e-mail. Below are listed some of the scams that I am aware of. Please contribute any others that you come across and help out your EW brothers/sisters. Surok |
