ATTN: all Earthlink ISP users

[Follow Ups] [Post Followup] [Dodge Power Wagon Forum]

I received a fraudulent email message today supposedly from Earthlink Billing Dept describing a lapse in service for technical reasons unless the requested billing data is filled out for validation purposes in the accompanying link (provided below). It looks very official, but smelled funny to me. I spent 20 minutes waiting for 1-800 Earthlink Customer Service, then about 15 minutes with an Customer Service Rep. I forwarded the message to them, they checked out the link and verfied that it was not from Earthlink.
This is the first case of blatant computer fraud that I've personally witnessed, thought I'd pass it on. BEWARE! Bruce
