Stealing your ID is easy if you give it away!

How is this scam working?

They threat you for a technicality, so you "MUST" upgrade, for free, obviously, therefore you give them your parameters, they upgrade your acount, and all is OK.

For them, since they can use their "NEW" accoutn( yours) to read your mail and steal your data (banking, friends, etc.) they can e-mail the whole world from your account letting you to face SPAM casues and internet police, and more, they can fool your friends to give them their sensitive data so they can keep stealing, letting you to explain your friends what happend, should they belive you!

How do I recognised this as a scam?

Easy, why should my e-mail provider ask me my own e-mail address if they already know it?

Why should them ask me my password if they alreaady have it?

Similar e-mails ask you your banking data and many stupids just reply and give the info.

Some other e-mails just state that your e-mail to some person cannot be delievered because his mailbox is full, so you have to open the attched file and resend it with some supplementary data such as your password and stuff.

Bottom line, nobody is stealing your password, it is YOU that you give it away if you believe such idiot messages.

Stop being an idiot, start bugging the scammers.

Clogg their e-mail with a thousand messages a day, attach photos and films so that their server gets blocked.

I do that, funny, they stop e-mailng me for weeks, until they solve the server problem... LOL
