so i reported the guy to the cogeco abuse email, and now for some reason cogeco is sending me an email every 10 minutes or so which is annoying]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20234328 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:09:31 EDT Re: Phishing Email? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20233648 CableDaddy3 : If I were to create a phising email, I would at least try and make it sound real. That thing gave me a headache trying to decipher it. There's no commas when needed and the wording is horrible. Maybe they should have gotten an english speaking person to write it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20233648 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:21:08 EDT Re: Phishing Email? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20232154 bewale : Not to mentioned the English is terrible.

Total phishing scam. WOW doesn't know my DOB, how could they possibly use that to verify. lol.

The registration process is confirmation enough and you pay to have it whether its used or not. Its part of your package. This is definitely a phishing scam of some sort. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20231772 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:30:32 EDT Phishing Email? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20230654 JackSparrow : So I just got an email telling me to confirm my WOW Email Address:

It looks extremely fishy, mainly due to the fact that it wants my password and DoB, and that its from a cogeco email and a j-mail.info address, both of which have absolutely nothing to do with WOW or the webmail backend.. There was also the fact that I received the email on only one of my WOW email accts.

Just wanted to let y'all know :p

EDIT: if it helps anyone, here are the headers:
