Yesterday I got an email titled:YOU SHOULD GET ONE OF THESE from a reliable friend. It was stating she had gotten an apple computer by going to this website beta.applegifts.net
I got several pages into the application for this when I realized it was asking for info I never post online.
When I backed out to the first page to erase all the information, I noticed my name, address, phone and email were posted on all the pages automatically. I did not think I had to erase all of those as well since I was not submitting the final step of the application.
WRONG! This morning I had 8 emails offering unsolicited services:credit reports, grant information, hip replacement information etc. Also, when I answered the phone, there was no answer. I retreived the phone and called it: 304 841 0014 and there was a recording saying this call is only to verify your phone and no further information is required. There was no company name given. Since my computer is running slowly, I suspect this is a scam to obtain acess to my computer account and the information it contains.
Please do not open nor be seducced by "YOU SHOULD GET ONE OF THESE".
