I retract my original posting on this topic and apologize for wasting subscribers' time. While the email from Yes Mail was unsolicited, the links did, in fact, redirect one's browser to the actual Red Cross site and other sites. I should have tried it before jumping to conclusions. Do be alert for fraud following the attacks, though. For the record, my email was not intended to be spam to this group with the hope that people would go surf MY sites. To that end I have stripped my URLs from the included email. Bob ----------------- original email follows --------------------------- This criminal fraud originated from IP 64.37.207.81. I changed ".com" to ".Zcom" (except for my own email address) and ".net" to ".Znet" to protect any of you running vulnerable mail readers. Spread the word that there will be others doing this (with different IPs and URLs). Sigh.
