BNP Membership List - Some email advice
Do not be caught by the crooksBefore I start on the main article of today, and the ramifications of the publishing of the British National Party's membership list, a few words of advice.
All those who had email addresses alongside their details, should immediately change those addresses and bin their old email accounts. Don't do it later do it now.
You can bet that criminal organisations will have scanned and harvested the list and all those on it will be receiving phishing correspondence.
Phish is an Internet scam designed to trick the recipient into revealing credit card, passwords, social security numbers and other personal information to individuals who intend to use them for fraudulent purposes. The scam is known as "phishing" and the communications are sent to appear to look as if they come from reputable companies. The e-mails often instruct the recipient to verify or update account information by requesting a reply to his e-mail with updated information, or by providing the recipient with a link to a website where the new information may be entered. Anyone who receives such an email should not respond to it, or click on any links provided, but should contact the company who purportedly sent the notice, to inform them of the scam.As someone who has received dozens of these phishes, I can tell you they are very professional and will fool many people, such is the quality of some of them. So do not be taken in.
Get your new email accounts today because if you do not, I can assure you your email boxes are going to be overflowing with companies trying to sell you Penis extensions and the like.
I personally have several email accounts with both Hotmail and Google, they are easy to setup and are both anonymous and can be used online from any machine. Even better. They are free.
