Internet scam warning
This morning I received an email, with s spoofed return of the Lexis/Nexis company, saying that all subscribers must sign in every so many months and I had not, with a link to click on to restore my account. I don't have an account with them, and the link goes (with a spoofed url so it looks like Lexis/Nexis) to an Indian webpage. It's a very professional job of fraud. The supposed sign in page collects usernames and passwords, and maybe a later page (I only looked at the first one) collects credit card data as well. I'd suggest getting the word out on this Lexis/Nexis fraud page. I assume they're using bar directories to target attorneys' emails.

Whatever happened to professional courtesy?

Those internet phishermen should get the same treatment horse thieves and cattle rustlers got in the Old West.

But there is a certain justice in them targeting lawyers :)
