Message-ID: <Sea1-F1499g4pXX50yk0000fe93@hotmail.com> From: randomisedletters at hotmail.com (Random Letters) Subject: Panda 'phishing'? To renewals@...dasoftware.co.uk, As lovely as your renewal reminder (attached) looks to you, it looks hideous as a page of Microsoft Word generated HTML/XML. It is doubly stupid for a security company to send HTML emails with deliberately misleading embedded URLs in it, i.e. the text http://www.pandasoftware.co.uk/renew/index.htm actually points to https://www.secure-server-hosting.com/secutran/secureforms/sh202696/sfbuy_renewals.html I do not have a relationship with this company and I don't know whether you do either. There are plenty of examples of 'phishing' emails being sent at the moment - is this one? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=phishing&btnG=Google+Search I have no reason to believe this email is a forgery but I will treat it as such unless I hear from you otherwise. I will not be renewing my subscription and will find an alternative to your product unless I get a sensible reply from you. I have been using the product for 2 years and have been otherwise happy with it and have recommended it to colleagues, family and friends. Yours, etc. ----------------------------------------------- Does HoTMaiL come with a spell checker? ----------------------------------------------- <html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
