Another Day, Another (Email) Scam

07/24/09 at 1:33 pm

The bad guys are at it, again. The latest spam email, attempting to mislead Suddenlink customers, opens thus:

This message is from Suddenlink Management and we are sending it to every Email User Accounts Owner for safety. we are having congestions due to the anonymous registration accounts so we are shutting down some accounts and your account was among those to be deleted. We are sending this email to you so that you can verify and let us know if you still want to use this account.

Later in the email, recipients are told this:

You will have to confirm your E-mail by filling out your Login Information below after clicking the reply button, or your account will be suspended within 24 hours for security reasons.

* Username: …………………………
* Password: …………………………..
* Date of Birth: ……………………….
* Alternative Email …………………….
* Country Or Territory: …………….

WRONG! As we’ve written before, 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 or open attachments in unsolicited or suspicious email.)
