Yep, the form asks for just the right information for them to enter your account.

And I am getting them at email addresses that I don't use with ePassporte. Greenie has one too.. We have an email address that we both get and we received one of these to it.

I get them for bank accounts that I have and don't have, Amazon accounts, credit card accounts, Etrade account, pretty much everything and anything. It's really fucked up.

I haven't recieved it yet.
There were a some phising mails 6 months or so ago and ePassporte had the domains shut down with 15 minutes of them being notified about it. |

So the basic rule is: if it offers to send you to the site via a clickable link, it's automatically a bogus phishing scam. I hope that ePassporte adopts this rule if it hasn't already. |

I filled in the form, now I can't get into my account.
So, don't fill it out. It doesn't work.

Haven't gotten one of those for epassporte yet. Is that a sign that they've become really big.

NO! Im not a female - but being a dragon, I do eat them.
|
Keyser - thats the important part and the best part about Epassporte - they will NEVER email you except within their system in your account - never to your outside email addy

If there is nobody out there, that's a lot of real estate going to waste!

Haven't seen the one for epass yet, but tons of others.
Yep, never fill out anything in an email that requires important information. Far too many scammers and cheats out there...cocksuckers |

I don't have to be careful. I got a gun

Hi all! I've received similar mail around March this Year (with the url & form & everything just slightly different text) & I wasn't lazy so without clicking to URL I call them to ask what the heck it's all about!? Strange thing was that I've received same mail to my epass acc. & private mail used only for epass.
To keep a long story short it was a spam scam that's out for Your username & pass so I'm thinking this may be the same thing here. So watch out for that!!! oh forgot to say: if You by any chance use & fill out the form make the call to epass center & let them change Your password just in case. |

Suprisingly I haven't gotten it yet, I'm sure I will soon though.
Thanks for the heads up. |

Kids are great, Appu. You can teach them to hate the things you hate and they practically raise themselves now-a-days, you know, with the internet and all

Log into your epassporte account. You'll see a message about it before seeing your cash and stuff
