You know the story, you are logged in to your email and you see a message that looks urgent. The subject line is "Your Webmail Quota Has Exceeded The Set Quota/Limit". A panic ensues and you open the email to find out the details. In the email you are told that you are currently running on 19.8GB due to hidden files and folders on your mailbox. You must send in the information below to make sure your account doesn't get deleted. They need your First Name, Username/ID, Password and you should confirm your password.
Your first clue that this is not a legitimate request is that places of business will not ask for this information. Another clue might be when you look at the email it has been sent from.
