Security Warning – Phishing/Spam email

It has come to our attention there are emails circulating, claiming to be from Spin and asking customers to verify their password information via an included web address.

These emails are NOT legitimate mail from us and should be simply discarded.

We will never ask you to visit a website outside our network to update any of your sensitive information. You can do this yourself at any time through our User Service section from the Spin website.

You will notice that the spelling and grammar is poor and that there is a very impersonal signature. These factors, coupled with the link to somewhere outside of our network, are usually good indicators that the message is a hoax.

There are a few variations of these types of spam, which have a similar purpose or request. Below is a sample of one such email currently being sent:

> Dear spin.net.au Email Account Owner,
>
> This message is from ispin.net.au messaging center to all spin.net.au
email
> account owners. We are currently upgrading our data base and e-mail
account
> center. We are deleting all unused spin.net.au email account to create
more
> space for new accounts.
>
> To prevent your account from closing you will have to update it below
> so that we will know that it's a present used account.
>
> CONFIRM YOUR EMAIL IDENTITY BELOW
