embee stranger Registered: 10/05/09 Posts: 2	Dear list, Is this a real request or a phishing? Sorry to be so freaky, but I had just finished reading a security newlestter and then got this re-confirmation email. Regards, embee

I would rather that Anu had just said to come to the AWAD website and find the appropriate link there, but. _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...

Ditto, I got it too, and it returned me to the site. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

JoR stranger Registered: 01/27/13 Posts: 4 Loc: South Africa	I may be paranoid, but I don't trust any e-mail that tells me to click on a link in order to do what they ask. I immediately sent an e-mail asking Wordsmith to confirm if it was a legitimate request.... _________________________ JoR

Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/24/02 Posts: 7210 Loc: Vermont	My computer has suffered no ill effects from the link-clicking. But I'm on a mac, so your mileage may vary. (and I know, bad stuff can happen to macs, too, it's just not as likely. Which is why I felt comfortable trying the link.) _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...
