[LINK] Re: Account Update

Dear Netspace, and Link Institute mailing list,

The following email's reply mailto address is: acct.helpdesk at y7mail.com

Am wondering, Netspace, (being a major Australian ISP) if you'd advise
myself (and Link) if this phish is common, and some of the protections
from such you have in place for account holders, and for the Internet?

Cheers Netspace
