Online Threat Alerts (OTA)

Lastnight I received an e-mail message with the subject "2.5% Refinance - Trusted Lenders - Refi Now and Save", appearing as if it came from LendingTree with the 'From' e-mail address as lendingtree @xillia.info. When I clicked on one of the links in the message, I was redirected to the malicious website www.secureforrent.com. This website (www.secureforrent.com) was blocked by my anti-virus (Avast), which indicated that this website contains malwares.

This is how the e-m ail message looks

Avast Free Anti-virus blocking the malicious website (www.secureforrent.com)

If you receive this e-mail, please do not click on any of the links in this malicious e-mail message and do not visit www.secureforrent.com.
