Hack alert

I received an email from my credit card company (allegedly) that warned me of a Chinese hacker attack and instructed me to click on a link that they supplied.  I did not.  Never click on these things.  This is a scam.  The reason I am alerting you all is that the email address had a  {MAMS}  embedded in the address.

I fear that someone on this list may have been hacked.  I am not smart enough to figure it out.  I have deleted the email and then deleted it from my “deleted” mail box.  Before I did that I called the credit card company and they instructed me to forward the offending email to their security department.  I trust they will deal with it appropriately.

Good luck all.
