Hi guy's ,

just wanted to advise you that some idiot is sending emails looking llike coming from MSN in which the claim that you need to verify your account. If you click the URL to do so (the url looks like https but takes you to a regular http page) you will be asked for your creditcard details , email address , email password , etc....
The page looks like a MSN page but the only thing the are trying is to get your creditcard information to take your money so be carefull.

Sincerely , Peter

	Never realized that ok button is so sensitive =) Sorry bout the blank post, I was trying to say that this is a classic phishing attempt. Paypal, hotmail, banks (untold numbers of them) all types of large companies fall victim. Just say no! J.
