Many of us use TDS for e-mail and this appeared in my junk file, When you click the first window it looks like a TDS web site but check the URL address, looks phony to me. Note the e-mail is from james.lofuis@wbcable.net

Just received another one, note the address the e-mail is from (info0001@newera.com.ng) I think .ng is where domains from Nigeria are registered.

Don't click on the web site link.
