Some phisher either lucked out on timing, or Rogers is incredibly blind & obtuse on the issue of identity theft.
My response
Dear Rogers,
Thank you for taking the time to canvass me to send personal information & account details over an insecure network to a possibly malicious email address.
I will NOT be sending my personal information and account password over email.
I am surprised and disappointed that, in today's reality of ID theft, Rogers would encourage me to do so. Had I not actually sent the enquiry about my existing account, I would have automatically categorized this mail as a phishing attempt.
I read with interest https://www.shoprogers.com/store/cable/email_fraud.asp. Perhaps Rogers should alert its customers that they themselves will occasionally send emails with some of the patterns associated with a phish.
I have cc'd Rogers Privacy Officer in order to hilite for that office this unacceptable privacy & security practice.
