The only signs it was fake were that I know the expiration date they listed was wrong, but how many people know that right off the top of their heads, and I noticed the "date of notice" said 8/28/06 but it wasn't sent until 9/12/06.
So many people pulling scams. It's amazing.

One thing to remember: no company is going to ask such personal info via email. And if you need to check it then don't use the link given. Instead, go to the HOME site URL you trust and start there with questions about it.
That phishing stuff is really getting people. But the above info would stop it.
