WEBMAIL USERS: IF YOUR SPAM MAILBOX HAS DISAPPEARED, CLICK HERE.
IMPORTANT NOTICE 08/03/09
Recently we have been getting reports of customers receiving emails that are supposedly from "webmaster@tele-net.net", and asking for your account and/or personal information.
Let us be absolutely clear regarding these email messages:
DO NOT REPLY TO THEM & DELETE THEM FROM YOUR MACHINE!
THESE MESSAGES ARE NOT FROM US.
WE DO NOT EVER ASK FOR ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION VIA AN EMAIL.
These emails are what is known as a "phishing" scam designed to get you to reveal your information to the sender who may be trying to commit identity theft. Anyone, anywhere on the Internet can "forge" a "From:" email address, making the email appear to have come from someone or somewhere it did not. Usually, our spam/virus filtering keeps these from getting through, but from time to time, some of them sneak by as the senders develop new methods of disguising themselves. If you provide the requested information, your account may be used to send spam or more phishing emails, which can lead to emails either from you individually or from the entire tele-net.net domain being blacklisted by receiving email servers. (In other words, the emails you send may be rejected by the addressee's server, and get bounced back to you.)

As for emails from us here at Tele-NET, we will sometimes send out an email to all our subscribers, but never asking for information from you. Our emails to you are only sent as informational announcements, and never require you to provide any personal or account information. Please do not send anyone your login username or password, or any other personal information (birth date, social security number, etc.), as these can be used to commit identity theft, and make your life really miserable. We don't want that, and we're sure you don't either.
