Quote - if you get an email asking you to visit ANY site to confirm your details delete it. don't even go to have a look to see if it's fake. just place it into your deleted folder then nuke it> Quote -

minor exception, verify email address when signing up for an account with a lot of corportate sites.

also activation of account is held off until verified that email addy is valid but then it is an expected email, not one from out of no-where. Message edited on: 12/10/2004 14:46
