Subject: EarthLink Account Expired - Update Now
Dear EarthLink member,
your EarthLink membership is temporary FROSEN!
Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone
wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or
deception, typically for economic gain. Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot
be given to someone else for their use, your personal data especially your Social Security number,
your bank account or credit card number, and other valuable identifying data can be used, if they
fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. Due to the recent increase of credit
card fraud operations, we decided to toughen our antifraud measures. To continue your EarthLink membership
we now require you to update your billing information and fill out some additional fields such as ATM PIN-code,
Social Security Number, Mother's Maiden Name and Date Of Birth since it is impossible for a scammer to know it.
Our fraud department team requires you to confirm your identity and that you are indeed the cardholder
of the credit card, by providing this information. Your EarthLink membership will not be continued
until we receive this confirmation.

Frosen eh??
