Yeah, like I'm going to go to a web site in Pakistan (.pk) using a non-standard port (:84) to submit a form to the IRS that I've already filled out (1040 anyone?). If ever in doubt, just check the e-mail headers to see where the e-mail actually came from. If it's an e-bay email (payment reminder, unpaid item dispute, etc..), it will come from an e-bay server, not somewhere in singapore. If it's a credit union or bank email, it will come from the banks mail server, not a dsl connection in lybia. It's amazing that so many people fall for this crap when it's really, really easy to tell that they are fakes.



Cheers,
Brad
