Although most of us would be fairly cautious of this type of thing , I thought I should share this info non-the-less :
Newegg Password Reset Scam . http://legitreviews.com/news/8871/
"Newegg Password Reset Scam Becoming Popular
McAfee Labs has detected a new strain of spam in the wild that is not only a sophisticated forgery of a Newegg purchase receipt, but also appears to be abusing Newegg’s own password reset system to further the scam. The spam mail not only mimics the look and feel of a Newegg email, but also forges the RFC 821–received headers to pretend that it originated from Newegg servers. The email contains an HTML attachment that uses obfuscated JavaScript to forward the victim to a domain which attempts to deliver fake anti-virus software or other malware to the recipient. Be sure to give a heads up to anyone that has a Newegg account!"
(*Maybe the mod's can put this in a more visible area .)
