[TowerTalk] Fwd: Unwanted crap msgs

[HansLG at aol.com]

The sad thing is that "they" only have to know your e-mail address to make  
the spams. "They" can fake it all in their own server. You will only know 
you  were hit if some of the e-mails come in return.

Phishing attempts that are successful, such as this one, are  usually 
easily remedied, by changing the email password. That is if it  does 
happen to you.
