Agreed.

There are 1 in 1000 e-mails I spam e-mails I receive, and that make it through the filters, you 'might' almost believe.

Except spelling, use of English, or the e-mail address is a dead give-a-way.

I got it also, they probably mailed all programs that have a verotel account

Not to mention their return email address: [email protected]

Verotel should follow up on this just as a safeguard to those that might actually fall for it.
