Common sense for people who get screwed by these things is :

1. If it looks official it is.

2. I always enter my password at the site when I use it, why not now.

3. If I my account is disabled I will be pissed and it will be a hassle to get it going again.

4. Computers _always_ have glitches and need updating
Yes I know, but let me put it this way. I think that common sense is the best way to go if you have it which as you all know most people dont have any common sense so what really should be done i guess for the avrage user is to open up an e-mail account and dont use it for any thing else except for your accounts with your bank, ebay, and any thing like paypal. People should then at least check using the very little but hopefuly still existing common sense to check that e-mail to see if it is a real e-mail for the company.

Hey but if all else fails go back to doing things the old fashion way, get your ass of the chair and go to the back and the store to get what you want, but fopr me that will neavor happen.
