whenever attempting to access our Web site / or conduct transactions online. //

to access your ShoppingXYZ.com account: /


1) Confirm that the address “www.shoppingxyz.com/login” / appears at the top of your Web browser. //

Subject: “Phishing” Attempt //


Dear Customer Service, //

I was recently doing some Internet shopping, / when I decided to access your Web site. //

I entered my shoppingXYZ.com password and ID, / and looked at a few products /

before I had to turn off my computer and leave the house to run some errands. //

This was prior to receiving your warning of “phishing” attempts, /

and I did not notice whether the correct address appeared at the top of my Web browser, /

or whether the proper “welcome” message appeared. //

Since then, I have read your warning. //

Just to be safe, / I have canceled my account with shoppingXYZ.com, /

and opened a new one with a different username and password. //

Will it be possible for you to confirm /

whether any of my private information was compromised? //

Please advise at your earliest convenience. //

Many thanks, // Phillip Hall //
