New phishing scam today.
Attention:
User Quarantine Notification
A mail box user quarantine exercise is currently going on. we are carrying out a (inactive email-accounts / spam protecting) clean-up process to enable service upgrade efficiency.
Please be informed that we will delete all mailbox accounts that do not adhere to this notice. You are to provide your email account details for Quarantine exercise and protection against spammers/hackers by clicking your reply button and reply to this email as follows (This will confirm your MST mailbox login/usage Frequency):
* Account Login id.:
* Password:
* Account Creation Date:
All IT utilities will not change during this period, This will not affect the operation of your mail box systems or the manner in which you currently login to your mailbox. Email access and usage will be disabled if you fail to comply with the above.
Still fairly obvious. Last time I looked we had no offices in Claremont, Ca. Who the heck knows when their account got created? Did you notice that the actual email address you are replying to is a gmail address? Lastly, NO IT DEPARTMENT (at least a reputable one, anyway) WILL EVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD. ESPECIALLY THROUGH EMAIL. We might ask if you know what is if you are having problems logging in, and we can tell via a counter if you are not using a correct one. We cannot see your password, and we do not want to know. Now, for that 50 or so of you that actually replied and sent your password, you deserve what you get. Go change your password before it gets worse. Morons.
