This morning I opened my email client to view a flurry of phishing emails similar to this one:
From: customersupport @ yourofficeontheweb.com [mailto:customersupport @ yourofficeontheweb.com]
Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 12:02 PM
To: mail @ yourofficeontheweb.com
Subject: The settings for the mail @ yourofficeontheweb.com were changed
Dear user of the yourofficeontheweb.com mailing service! We are informing you that because of the security upgrade of the mailing service your mailbox (mail @ yourofficeontheweb.com) settings were changed. In order to apply the new set of settings click on the following link:
I have removed the link so it doesn’t get clicked on accidentally but can tell you that there is a very long URL that they are asking me to click on.
Best regards, yourofficeontheweb.com Technical Support.
A different email for another address looked like it was a newsletter type of thing and informed me that my default setting for my mailbox had changed and I needed to download and execute a new settings file for my mailbox.
DO NOT click on anything in these emails. If you are in any kind of doubt about your email settings contact your web developer or hosting company but exercise extreme caution with these types of emails.
You can also report phishing to US-CERT who is collecting phishing email messages and web site locations so that they can help people avoid becoming victims of phishing scams.
In Outlook Express, you can create a new message and drag and drop the phishing email into the new message. Address the message to phishing-report@us-cert.gov and send it.
In Outlook Express you can also open the email message and select File > Properties > Details. The email headers will appear. You can copy these as you normally copy text and include it in a new message to phishing-report@us-cert.gov.
If you cannot forward the email message, at a minimum, please send the URL of the phishing web site. If the suspicious mail in question includes a file attachment, it is safer to simply highlight the message and forward it. Some configurations, especially in Windows environments, may allow the execution of arbitrary code upon opening and viewing a malicious email message.

Automated customer assistance …. does anybody else recognize this as an oxymoron? Just thinking about having to call my credit card company, telephone company or any other company for that matter makes me shudder and start monitoring my blood pressure. I know we don’t have to deal with these types of calls everyday, but even periodic bad experiences with touch-tone or voice-activated customer service centers can result in long-lasting frustration and resentment. Frankly, I have a small but growing list of companies that I simply won’t do business with because of the difficulties communicating with them. And we are not even discussing outsourced call centers in India in this post. That is a whole other topic and one that I may have to think about long and hard before posting. I tend to say bad words when this issue comes up.
What to do?
Go to get2human.com to find out if the company you need to call is listed. Once you are there you can consult the database of secret phone numbers and codes that immediately get an actual, live person on the line for customer service at nearly 1000 major companies.
For companies that are not currently listed on this website, call the main number, then press 0 (zero) after the voice message starts. You may have to press it several times to override the system. It that doesn’t work, try 0# (zero pound), 0* (zero star), #0 (pound zero) or *0 (star zero). Another trick that sometimes works is using voice activation: Say, agent or human.
Good luck!
