Ärende: Phishing Message.
=========================
Usually SPAM MESSAGES are caught by the sbcglobal.net/Yahoo! Mail
Program I use and sent to the SPAM box instead of the Inbox.

Mailwasher Free has marked this message as Suspected Spam two times
recently, Yesterday and Today.

I don't have any recollection of my ISP using the address, web.dept@w.cn
so I allowed the Mailwasher Free suggestion to delete the message from
my Inbox.

It looks like the message had to get pass the ISPs eMail filters before
Mailwasher Free would see the message in my Inbox.

Usually my ISP filters out all of these messages and places them in the
SPAM box before Mailwasher Free could find them in my Inbox.

I wanted to pass the message along in the VIRUS Echo, but I didn't want
to open the message up and possibily get infected by it.

I got a Idea how I could Save the message from the Email SPAM Folder so
I could post it here so others could see how Slick the folks that send
these Phishing Messages out are.

Here is the text of the email I received.

Dear Webmail User,

This message was sent automatically by a program on Webmail which
periodically checks the size of in boxes, where new messages are received.
The program is run weekly to ensure no one's inbox grows too large.
If your inbox becomes too large, you will be unable to receive new email.
Just before this message was sent, you had 18Megabytes (MB) or more of
messages stored in your inbox on your Web mail.To help us re-set your
SPACE on our databaseprior to maintain your INBOX, you must reply to this
e-mail and enter your:

Name:
Webmail Access Page:
User name:
Password:
Retype Password:

You will continue to receive this warning message periodically if your
inbox size continues to be between 18 and 20 MB. If your inbox size grows
to 20MB,then a program on the Web mail will move your oldest email to a
folder in your home directory to ensure that you will continue to be
able to receive incoming email. You will be notified by email that this
has taken place. If your inbox grows to 25MB, you will be unable to
receive new email as it will be returned to the sender. After you read
a message, it is best to REPLY and SAVE a copy.


Thanks,
Web mail Help Desk.

Wasn't that Slick, how they could get someone to divulge their Password
so these guys could take over the account?

I hate people like that.
