Several custsomers have recieved a FAKE email claiming to be from "THE Oldwiz.net TEAM". The email asks
for you to reply with your username and password. Please, don't do it!
If you did bite on the Phishers hook, don't panic. Call and we will change your password. Remember no one here will
ever send an email asking for your account information, ever.
This appears to be a new type of Phishing.
Spear Phishing The Phish appears to be legitimately addressed from someone
within that company, in a position of trust, and request information such as
login IDs and passwords. Spear phishing scams will often appear to be from a
company's own human resources or technical support divisions and may ask
employees to update their username and passwords. Once hackers get this data
they can gain entry into secured networks.

Webopedia Definition] (fishing)
(n.) The act of
sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established
legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into
surrendering private information that will be used for identity
theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they
are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and
credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the
legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus
and set up only to steal the user.s information.
