Plenty of fraudulent phishing emails that try to get your username and password

There are plenty of SPAM emails going around these days, claiming to come from the support desk of your email provider, or some other place such as ebay or paypal. Usually, in one form or another, they ask that you reply to them with your username and password to take care of a problem, or they provide a link to a dodgy web site. DO NOT CLICK on the links, or DO NOT REPLY to the email. This is phishing, they simply want your account to abuse it. NEVER give out account information, without verification.
