National Health-care phishing scam - be aware...

[Mithrandir]

Hey everyone,

Just so you know, ever since the Health-care bill passed, there have been many phishing email scams going around. These usually tell you that you're eligible and to just reply to the email with some personal info, or to go to a legitimate looking website and fill out a form. Do not reply or click any links - just delete the email. This is a scam and will end up costing you your identity.

This thread is not to be derailed into a discussion about the bill either pro or con. Just read it and be aware of this phishing scheme. Be sure to tell your friends to ignore these messages!

ISC reported the first hit in the middle of the speech... >.> Also be on the lookout for poisoned Google search results. If you search for it, you may find yourself taken to a site that does a drive-by download. Just be wary if something looks wrong.
