Thanks for the heads up, darrenstraight. It is worring news that but it doesn't really surprise me. These people want your passwords for everything.

Well your on their server. Say a friend gave you a subdomain on his/her account. They have access to everything. In a sense, so does google.

It's a scam no doubt, its really strange, yet sad that people are actually trying to get passwords out of you. I'll let you know if I get one of these e-mails.

thanks for the tip!! Any communication which calls for your password should be looked at with a pinch of salt. No doubt this is a scam.
Such communication only underlines the popularity of gmail!!  |

I never fall for "password asking" scams. I used to for Neopets.com back in the day. Haha. I was such a newbie. I thought people would actually get you stuff into your account with their "bots" if you filled out their forms. I was oh so very wrong. lol.
After that I learned never to give out my password to anyone...no matter how convincing or professional it looks. And they always state somewhere that they never ask for passwords, so that's another giveaway. |
