Reed Bullen, an email user at Utah State University, was
fooled by a "phish" message into giving away his email
password.  The phisher then used Reed's email account to
send more phish messages to others, including you.

The message had the subject "Dear Email User;  You have
exceeded the limit of 23432 Email Account" and directed you
to a web form to enter your password and other information.

If you followed those instructions, you should change your
password immediately and contact your email service provider
for further instructions.  We apologize for this hazardous
intrusion into your life.
