Your Idenitity Stolen – if you answered the email below

Did you give away your Identity to a thief? Did you get this email below and then answer it?

If so, your identity was stolen and your account information along with it.

I italicized and used strike-through on the words that are misspelled. This will help you to identify emails that are scams. The number one footprint of a scam is a professional looking email that has several misspellings in them or improper grammar. Then I went to this scam site and I got the verification from Google and Firefox as the picture at the right states. Just click on the image to see it in full view.

Please don’t get caught by these scams. In the image to the right is a link to “how Firefox protects you” and I am providing that active link right here. Firefox is a browser like Internet Explorer, Netscape and Safari.
