Members beware!!

If anyone gets an email supposedly from NFPS requesting you to confirm your Email address and your Home address for the purposes of a Newsletter, Please be warned that it could very well be a Fishing Expedition by some US Lawyers.

Just delete the letter and ignore such a request.

unfortunately yes alex70olds...some others wish they could laugh too... this is no joke... please do not respond to this if you get an email ... people are gullible & do not realize the repercussions ... I wonder how they got the email addresses in the first place???

They could have been hacked. It does not seem like a d1sh technique. I could be wrong, but seems like a competitor scare tactic. Cross site sql scripts are notorious methods to dump VB DB's. I would agree to not respond to such email. If you have access to such email, post header info. Depending on email viewer, show original will give you header info complete with originating IP. One way to find out the origin with out responding. Newsletter? does not sound like a d1sh tactic. I could be wrong.
