    Anyone who falls for that would have to be a sandwich,

    Simple rule to follow online. NEVER EMAIL YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE EVER!!

    Also, Who uses UPC mail anyway! get a real email account

    Seen them hundreds of times before, and no doubt again, can't see why anyone would fall through it.

    I remember not too long ago that webmail services were considered not to be "real" e-mail accounts. The amount of places that refused AOL or Hotmail addresses was quite big.

    I have to say, they're not all bad. There is a Nigerian Prince who emailed me and has personally promised me a fortune.
    At last my luck is changing!!!!!!

    Just another phishing scam, nothing new in that. Doesn't really need a thread about it.
