BEWARE OF PHISHING - I have listed warnings in the past concerning "phishing" that appear in your Emails. Our family recently received a request to "update" our billing account records with Comcast. The Email warned that we risked losing our Comcast television and our Internet service unless we updated our information. The Email provided an "easy, click on Website" that provided the form to use to update our information. The Website looked very authentic. I chose to contact Comcast by telephone concerning this Email. The lady at Comcast told me that the Email was NOT from them and that it has been around for a couple of months. PLEASE do not fill out any requests for personal information that appear in your Emails unless you are initiating the transaction that requires that information and only then if it is a "secured" site. It is better to spend a dollar on a telephone call that to spend many dollars and a great amount of time trying to correct an Identity Theft crime.
