Gents, FYI, I lifted this verbatim from Don Adams' post on this topic in the ACW club's Mason Dixon Tavern. No sense in reinventing the wheel when Don's message tells the story so well...... Sgt. Thomas Callmeyer, 1 Div/ 1st Brig/6th Reg, 2nd Conn State, Grand Army, Continental Armies I checked my email today and had a purported email from HPSSIMS saying I had won a free "simulator" from HPS (the "Point of Attack 2") Here is the text: ================================================================= POINT OF ATTACK 2 The most comprehensive and detailed modern combat simulator ever created. POA2 is a modern tactical level simulation that depicts combat at the platoon and individual vehicle level. By Scott Hamilton. First top 50 customers get FREE and you are one of them The most comprehensive and detailed modern combat simulator ever created. POA2 is a modern tactical level simulation that depicts combat at the platoon and individual vehicle level. By Scott Hamilton. First top 50 customers get FREE and you are one of them Gift code number: 6AAZLNKBDIXC30 Click here and enter your code number: http://hpssims.com/shopdisplaydiscount/ ... X54P674L10 Thank you because you choosed to be a hpssims customer ! ================================================================== It looked good until the word "choosed". Following the link takes you to a site that looks exactly like HPS' site and a page is revealed that shows the offer with even more bad english. A glance in the address bar shows that you have actually gone to hpssims.NET (not .com). (The link here on the board tries to go to a page that does not exist but the one in the email takes you to the .net site.) They want you to fill out a form with all your home address information and give them a credit card number. Not good! BEWARE! Lt. Gen. Don Adams 5/1/III/ANV http://www.rootsandsaddles.com/index.htm |
