Webmail: June 2010 Archives

Another variant of the "Your webmail quota has exceeded the set quota" scam.  This one is sent from "Localhost" and one of the BIGGEST CLUE that this is a scam...  Do you know someone named "Localhost"?

There's nothing very specific in the details of this e-mail to lead you to believe that they have any information about you and was sent out to see if anyone would take the bait.  Definitely something you can simply throw away and not worry about.  Just don't click on the link provided.

Your webmail quota has exceeded the set quota which is 20GB. you are currently running on 20.9GB. To re-activate and increase your webmail quota please click the link below.

Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your webmail account.


Thanks, and sorry for the inconvienence.

Localhost
