Title: Alert from derbyshire police
Post by: Old Cruser on September 27, 2012, 08:02:42 PM

I have just had an alert come through from D.P

Be aware of a scam email from privacy@microsoft.com.
They are saying it's a scam to get to know passwords from AOL, Gmail, Yahoo or windows live passwords.
Delete the email - don't open it.
D.P provided this link

Gmail is pretty good at detecting phishing emails
