To Activeworlds Citizen User,
Due to an eletrical storm, our systems where shut down. It
seems
we have lost some information to your citizenship record. If you
please
send your citizenship number, password, and privillage password we
could get
you citizenship record up. Right now your citizenship is running on
temporary memory, which gets cleared every 48 hours. You have less
than 48
hours to send your e-mail reply to us, we will be checking e-mail every
hour
to confirm e-mails.

Thank you,
Activeworlds Community

Now we get to see how stupid AW citizens *really* are. If anyone falls
for this, they deserve what they get. Rick and JP may be idiots, but
they can at least type properly, and don't need Hotmail. :P

AWCom always backs up the Server everyday I bet. Also AWCom never asks you
for your PPW and Privlage password.

Hmmmm...I wonder how long it will take authorities to trace this, as it is
effecting a business?

I have to agree with you goob. Warnings and protection can only go so far
in our society, anyone falling for this is simply hopeless.

that image was prolly attached as a URL to the original email you received
so they could see when you opened the email.....

I wouldn't even reply to this if it was from an activeworlds.com e-mail.
You've GOT to be stupid if you think ANYONE would ask for your password over
e-mail. Do you know how easy it is to spoof the from e-mail adress? I could
probably make it look like my e-mails were sent from whitehouse.gov or
something....

Even if this WAS from an activeworlds e-mail do not reply. I wouldn't even
reply if it was aw. First i'd call them up and maybe give them the
information over the phone where i know who i'm talkign to is real.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Actually, it affects TRWO of 'em. ActiveWorlds (most directly) and
MSN/Hotmail (whose servers were probably used to generate the email).

Not long, but I doubt the AWC is going to bother to file a complaint with
the police over this... If they're really bored they might send an abuse
report to MSN.

Outlook Express automatically appends attached images to the end of a message you're viewing. I'm not sure if you can turn that off,
but it's default behaviour.

AW don't need your citizenship password,

They can see it from their database

That email doesn't even make SENSE. If it WAS in this so called
"temporary memory" then they already HAVE your details, they would
just need to copy them to "permenant memory"
