Ever get one of those emails that consist of you needing to "update your personal information, because it was somehow lost?" Or "There was a recent change to your account information, so click here to enter your password and username to see what changed."
WRONG!
Don't do it, and don't ever do it unless you know for a fact that it is the company, even then, they will not ask for your password or information via email. These are what they call, Phishing scams, and they are made to get all you information to take money from you.
A California phisher faces up to 101 years in prison after being convicted in U.S. District Court of tricking AOL members into disclosing their personal information, including credit cards. The information was then used to make purchases, say prosecutors. Be careful out there!
