 This  is like being  in the matrix and being hunted down .. I got an email this morning ostensibly from  oranjemund online all looking very  right and proper .. even having Mikes  email address .. saying that I had requested  a new password as I had forgotten mine  and to click on the link attached  ..  I  did not request anysuch thing  so contacted Mike .. that was after  actually going onto the site and finding that my old password worked  so it was not cancelled  as result of being  forgotten and  a request for new  one ..  Mike replied it is in all likelyhood bots trying to extract information .. now how manyof us use   a same  password for how many accounts etc ... be aware  and yes try to have different  codes for the different sites you use .. I have  heard of similar on facebook .. trying to extract passwords from  people ... do not  click on any links  unless you  very  sure ...  they could be a passage to  identity theft and  loss of your  hard  earned money ...
To see  sometimes  requires that you  first believe .
