Correspondence

March 4, 2009

Dear Exwire and Foothill.net e-mail user,

 

Hackers are sending you e-mails, not us!

Over the last several months you may have received one or more e-mails that look like they are from us asking you to “verify account information” or “confirm xyx information”.  However, they have been sent by hackers and by spammers – not by us!  The e-mail asks you either to click on a link or provide your username and password.  Unless you are sure the e-mail is from us DO NOT click on links in e-mails and under no circumstances should you type in your username and password unless you are sure that you are on the right website. 

 

Don’t click on links in e-mails!

The most secure way to reach our or any website is to click on your own browser bookmark or simply type in the name of the URL you wish to go to.  Clicking links in e-mails can take you to websites that you do not wish to visit even though the name of the link looks like what you want.  If you do click on these links, hackers can load malicious software on your computer, take control of your e-mail account and use it for malicious purposes or get to your personal information that may be contained in e-mails.

 

How to verify that an e-mail really came from us.

Real correspondence from us like this e-mail, can be verified by going to our website www.exwire.com (to be safe, don’t click on this link but type the domain name into your browser’s URL bar by hand).  Once there click on the “support” tab in the left margin and then click on the “correspondence” link.  You will find a copy of this e-mail there indicating to you it is a real e-mail from us (because spammers can’t post things on our website).

 

One way to reduce these spam e-mails is with good anti-spam software.  We offer Spam Guardian Pro which is very effective and reducing spam by 96-99%!  See our website for more information: https://sg.foothill.net/subscribe.php (now that you have verified that this e-mail is legitimate, you can click the link!).

 

Thanks,

 

The Exwire Customer Support Team
