• Recent Scam Targets eBay Customers
  Don’t fall for reassuring language in an e-mail message that seems legitimate, but has trickery well-camouflaged in it. One misleading e-mail we saw recently and has already been stopped targeted eBay customers. Other sites that have been imitated are Pay Pal and various banks.

  The e-mail’s From address said eBay Billing Department and the Subject was Final Notice Regarding Your eBay Account Information.

  The message was supposedly from the eBay security team, which had “reviewed your account and saw that someone has used your account for bidding and selling the products.” It asked for an immediate update of account information and supplied a link. The link looked as if it would go to eBay, but it did not. The closing of the e-mail message also carried reassuring language about the “security team” being concerned about the person’s account and making the account safe.

  To protect yourself, don’t reply to a message with anything you notice as questionable. Please report such e-mail messages to the Webmaster of the Web site that is being mimicked, in this case eBay, and let others know about it, as well.

• Winning E-Story Submitted by: Brenda Mathison
  My husband and I have family and friends scattered all over the place. Calling each of them on the telephone to keep in touch would be very costly, so instead we use e-mail to keep in touch. We have a young daughter who we are very proud of and love sharing pictures of her with friends and family and email offers an easy and affordable way of doing this. Close friends of ours have a son in the Marines currently stationed in Fallujah and he occasionally sends notes and pictures which allows us to keep in touch with him and know he is doing okay. We also use our Internet connection to pay the majority of our bills, including our NATCO bill. Saves a lot of time versus writing out checks and saves money on postage too. We have become accustomed to having Internet - I don't know how we would function without it.

  Brenda Mathison just earned two free months of NATCO Internet service! Submit your E-Story today and you could be our next winner! Remember that you can enter more than once. So, if you didn’t win this time, try again! Just go to www.natcotech.com/estories.php and tell us how using NATCO's Internet or e-mail service has made your life easier, helped you promote or manage your business, or simply how much you enjoy using the Internet and e-mail. If your E-Story is chosen, you'll win two months of free NATCO dialup Internet service ($19.95 x 2 = $39.90) or an equivalent credit on your DSL or ISDN account.
