Beware of latest E-mail Scam to Hams!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is yet another e-mail scam circulating the Internet, that all Hams should be on alert for. The scam has apparently been directed to HAM Radio Call sign e-mail addresses!!

This time it is an e-mail purportedly from American Express. The fraudulent message arrives appearing to be From: "AMEX SERVICES" with a Subject Line: reading: "AMEX UPDATE".

The scam messages seeks to have the recipient send a front and rear copy of both their Driver's License and AMEX card.

More savvy e-mail users will readily see that the message is a bogus attempt to obtain personal and account information.

The message originates from the e-mail and IP address: aaron@digital-glass.com [82.165.179.193].

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU RESPOND TO THE MESSAGE!!!

Very 73 to all,

AA6A

Just had a reply from from the company that owns the e-mail address of aaron@digital-glass.com. They have disabled his account after they seen the links to different sites that I sent to them and wanted to make sure that their name is not associated with the scam from the person who setup the account.

Another one for the small bloke.
