man how hard is it for an ISP to send en email message to all it users sting that they will never ask for billing or contact info via email. Kinda like how MSN messenger has that warning stating thr same
They have done that. They've also posted warnings on their start page periodically.

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.

Are you aware of the latest IE exploit that's discussed on this site's front page ?? Take a look... For a computer-newbie, I can see how they'd be fooled...
