Bad move Pacific

Opening a couple of days email, and I see

"<Silly promo, blah, blah, blah>

So that you're ready to launch straight into this event, allow me to confirm that your password is <snip>."

Now granted I haven't opened the software in a dog's age. And my password for that site is unique. But still, I'd really prefer they not be emailing my password out without me having requested they do so.

Are you SURE that email is actually from Pacific?

If his password is in it, it freaking better be!

Still VERY stupid though.... What are these people thinking when they pull crap like this?

It is definitely from Pacific

Here's a capture for those interested, with the user name and password removed.

I'd want to double-check what's in the "here" link, just in case it's a link to . But as TP said, if they have your password, it must (?) be legit.

Kudos to one of our local banks, who called a friend of mine to say there had been suspicious activity on her credit card. When my friend started to give the guy information, he cut her off and said "Never talk to anyone who just calls you up like this. Hang up, call the number on the back of your credit card, and talk to them". Good point.

Unless it's an intentionally wrong password, to mine for suckers responding with 'oh no it's actually ******'.
