Unless you don't mind people accidentally clicking them, or knowing your email address. And I get a few of those. Despite not even having a paypal. ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig? - ordnance11 - 08-24-2013 Quote:Dartz wrote:Oops, sanitized! __________________ Into terror!, Into valour!

Never turn Yes, it's into the fire we fly And the devil will burn! - Scarlett Pimpernell - Sweno - 08-24-2013 my rule of thumb is: if I get an alert email from any service I'm signed up for, and I think it's legit, I log in normally from my bookmarks (not from links in the email). If the alert is legit, they will have some sort of notification on the user home page. -Terry ----- "so listen up boy, or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing to happen to you today" TF2: Spy - robkelk - 08-24-2013 I get that sort of phishing message regularly ... and sweno's advice is the only safe way to address them. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - ECSNorway - 08-25-2013 I never even use bookmarks for that. I always just type the address manually. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. |
