Message to users of Incredimail email client:

Incredimail strips out the original message headers when forwarding messages. These headers are needed to track an email's origin, not the message body. The headers are not usually visible in any email, as they work behind the scenes to deliver the email.

I have visited the Incredimail website and found the following information, at - http://www.incredimail.com/english/help/faq.html - which will allow you to display and copy the headers in any original email.

If the email is in the Inbox list, right-click on the message and select Properties. Next, click on the Details tab. Highlight all of the header, then press Ctrl + C to copy the headers to your clipboard.

If you are already viewing the message, press the keyboard keys Enter + Alt together, or, go to the File menu and select Properties. Go to the Details tab, and copy the headers.

Open a new email message and right-click and paste the headers into the body. Address it to me and add a relevant subject so I know what it is about, and send it to me.

I would also ask that Incredimail users please turn off the fancy backgrounds, emoticons and stationary, and choose Plain Text as the style to send messages to me. The needless stuff added by Incredimail cause filesize bloat and obscures the important details that are needed to track the message.

Thanks to all who continue to forward scam emails to me. Your contributions are important in ridding the Forum of these slimeballs.

Here is one I just received today...I don't even know who "wamu" is, much less being a customer...but they instruct me that after I give them my account information I should do this:

"AFTER SUBMITTING, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS YOUR ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT FOR THE NEXT 48-72 HOURS UNTIL THE VERIFICATION PROCESS ENDS."

That should give them plenty of time to clean out your bank account!....Could anyone who actually has a bank account really fall for that?

The wamu.com email is a Phishing scheme. They sent these out in bulk, probably millions of them, in the hopes that a couple of actual customers will get them and respond. Anybody who fills out the info on their form will have their account cleaned out.

The same scam is perped against ebay, PayPal, Citibank and BOA customers, as well as Spanish banks.
