FAKE 'RESET PASSWORD' EMAILS

ATTENTION!  HALE MULTIMEDIA IS NOT SENDING THE EMAIL THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO RESET YOUR PASSWORD.  THEY ARE FROM SPAMMERS ON THE INTERNET FAKING LIKE THEY ARE US.

DO NOT OPEN THESE EMAILS AND DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS!!!  THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL PHISHING.  SPAMMERS ARE PHISHING FOR PEOPLE TO CLICK ON THEIR FAKED EMAILS.
