Be careful.
I know most webmasters are savvy to these kinds of scams though.
Just got this email that looks official enough but isn't. Much the same as those ebay and Paypal scams where they collect usernames and passwords to accounts.

That URL actually goes to:
http://213.139.10.6/lancaster/.ebcheck/index.html
It even attempts to LOAD A TROJAN before you do anything at all.
Don't be fooled.
The worst part here is that in all probability it's one of our own (a webmaster) who is behind this fucking shit. Because apart from Party Poker, the only people I have ever dealt with on Epass are webmasters.
