Beware Email Scams
04/23/09 at 10:45 am Pete 1 comment
We’ve warned about this kind of thing before, but it’s a warning worth repeating in light of a post today at Michael Willner’s blog.
What Willner ultimately advises his company’s customers to do applies to Suddenlink’s customers, as well. In short:
- Suddenlink does not send unsolicited email requesting personal or account information. Whenever you receive such email, ignore and delete it.
If you have a question about whether an email is legitimate, give us a call.
It’s also a good rule of thumb to not click on links nor open attachments in unsolicited email.
