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

Auckland, New Zealand G'day,
The website link points to the correct place so I'd imagine that unless someone hacked the site all is as it says.
regards

Vermont I got it, too, and went ahead and clicked (very hesitantly I might add), but it seems legit. I would rather that Anu had just said to come to the AWAD website and find the appropriate link there, but.

Ditto, I got it too, and it returned me to the site.

Posts: 2 Thx folks. I guess I'll try to find the thing again and click on the link. Gee whiz, I don't know where I put it.

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....![]()

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.)
