IHOT has received report of a email being received by our clients that request you to send in your UserID and password to confirm your account.
THIS IS TOTALLY BOGUS.
IHOT never, ever ask you to send in anything to confirm your account status.
If you receive a request that looks like this below, just delete it. It's not from us. It is coming from some where in the Europe and they have forged the header to make it look like it is coming from IHOT.
It appears that the email is coming from upgrade @ IHOT.COM.
This mail is to inform all our {Ihot.com} users that we will be upgrading our site in a couple of days from now. If you are a user of our site you are required send your Email account details enable us know if you are still making use of your mail box. Further be informed that we will be deleting all mail account that is not functioning so as to create more space for new users. To confirm your active/inactive account you are require to send us your mail account details below:
UserID:
Password:
IHOT never, ever request you send in your UserID or password by email. Why would we. We know the user name. So don't click reply and send anything back. It will be sent to them. If they get your reply they then have your email address, userid and password. They can then access your email box and use it to send spam out using your mailbox. Good for them, bad for your and IHOT.
