Good information. Thanks for sharing. Yes, those in the Cybertheft racket have no morals. Always check the url for legitimacy (if you can).

If those scammers are on their game, they'll put out their own fraud alert against lodiwinelabs.com.

I've posted this in other threads, and it's worth knowing so I'll post it again.

Before clicking ANY link in a browser, mouse over it and look at the status bar at the bottom of the browser. All the browsers I'm familiar with will display the real URL, like this:



Look at the URL and make sure it's what you think it is. If you have ANY doubts??? Don't click it.

Look for misspellings, letter substitution, e.g., m0rewinemaking.com <--- the "o" is actually a zero "0".

Or moorwinemaking.com <--- there are two "0"s in the URL.

More importantly, consider the source. Even ones that appear trustworthy. When I get an email from my bank, I normally use a bookmark to access their site, not a link in the email.
