phising ?

Post by expat yorkshire » 10th Apr, '13, 12:59

i go this email today

Hello there,

You recently requested an email subscription to Daniel Loh. We can't wait to send the updates you want via email, so please click the following link to activate your subscription immediately:

http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailc ... cCu201h7sI

(If the link above does not appear clickable or does not open a browser window when you click it, copy it and paste it into your web browser's Location bar.)


I have been rearranging my feeds recently and i did click on the link but now I think it may be a scam


Any ideas ?

At a guess,

Your email address has been entered against feed burner content (via a script). Feedburner sent you that confirmation email. If you click the link, you will be subscribed to whatever content was associated with the feed (Daniel Loh).

You should be able to go in to feedburner and disable the feed, perhaps here: http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/myfeeds

Clicking on random links in emails is never a good idea. [smilie=23_3.gif]
