Here's the headers, which show that this is probably a spoofed email sender or a Prodigy customer of low IQ.

Do they really think that I'm stupid enough to type my credit card account number and expiration date into an email form?!?!? If they have already charged my card (which one, BTW?), why do they need me to enter it again? So they can steal it and try to charge stuff on it?

In the imortal words of Al Borland...

I don't think so, Tim.

BTW - Child pornographers are the lowest form of scum on this earth, and I would never become one, no matter how much money I could make To get an email like this is an insult and should be illegal.

You mean they really didn't charge my credit card!??!?

Seriously though, I agree its pretty pathetic and yes some people will be dumb enough to put their info in there

That license to use the internet isn't such abad idea

[sixf00t4]

haha, never heard of a license to use the internet. that would never work. people would get emails telling them to enter their internet license number, and it would all start over again

I used to use Prodigy before it was gobbled up by SBC Yahoo. Existing Email addys were allowed to stay the same but it was username@prodigy.net not prodigy.com. This would lead me to guess the email address is not genuine.
