Minas Tirith | I got it late last year... ...the same day that I got the invoice from Earthlink that my credit card had been successfully billed. I checked my credit card account & sure enough, the monthly fee was debited, so I just deleted it the message. | |

| Re: I got it late last year... That looks very real and I can see how ppl can be fooled. I did get a notice from them that my card expired but expected it since it in fact did. I went to their website directly and updated.
If a fake had come a month ago I could have very well easily clicked on it especially if the url in the IE address bar matched Earthlinks site. | |

| I, too, got one, but since I'm on ELK/Mindspring cable, billed from TW, I just trashed it.
If they really want to cancel my service because they don't have a valid, up to date card on file, then they will have to call me at my unlisted, unpublished number!
