I stay at Holiday inn probably 20 nights a year. My "rewards" on my account seemed meager. I recieved an Email from them that my $25 Best buy card was "on its way". I called HI and someone changed my rewards address TWICE and used my points for a $100 Cabelas card in the past and this Best Buy. HI were very helpful after some long holds and phone transfers refunding my 80K points. Changed my password and will keep an eye on it. Clever thieves

I also received an email last week which had all the official looking logos and coloration of the Xfinity/Comcast company. The text was to the effect that I needed to click on the blue button to confirm details of my account immediately or my account would be closed and I would lose all my related data. I deleted it right away figuring if I lost my account, they'd be losing the $250.+ per month for a service I'm getting tired of, anyway! I have probably lost a few valid messages in the past but if I hold the cursor over the sender name and don't recognize the underlying account, I delete it without opening.

I often wonder what the world would be like if these thieving folks put their intellect and industry into some legitimate enterprise.

Those scams are mostly from third world countries where they have literally nothing but time. If it seems too good to ge true, even a $25.00 gift card, it probably is. I tell my wife all the time to delete them

99.9% of my emails get deleted immediately. I figure most are scams and if someone I know really needs to contact me they know how.

the email alerted me to the scam. The Gift card was ordered from my points, I checked my account because of the email and seen another shipping address. I at times too delete delete delete. Glad I looked a little further into this corrected things and changed my password.
