Many people have been receiving an email purporting to be from OTENET asking for your account details…

Dear Valued Customer,

This is to notify all OTENET account holders again that upgrading/maintenance of our server that was initially scheduled for this week has been postponed till next week March 5, 2010 for technical reasons. Once again, all account holders should endeavor to confirm their information as failure to confirm the requested information will lead to automatic system deactivation (ASD) after the upgrade and maintenance. You may experience login problems during this period. We are also having congestion due to the anonymous registration of accounts and on this note, we are deactivating some accounts that are no longer active and your account may be deactivated if no response to this e-mail.

To confirm and keep your OTE account active during and after this upgrade and maintenance, you are advised to forward your primary account information as below. Note you are to forward your primary account information not sub-account.

* E-mail:

* User ID:

* Password:

* Re-Type Password:

* Home/Office Address:

* Date of Birth:

Your OTE account shall remain active after we have successfully confirmed and upgrade our server.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for your co operation and your swift response to this notification.
