I just opened an email claiming to be from B&N indicating a change of password has occurred, etc. The typical false negative (or is it positive) setup, since I obviously didn't reset my password. I can't even remember it!

So beware this type scam. I called B&N about it but they didn't seem to care. Go figure.

I did a quick search here but didn't see anything obvious about a similar scam. So beware.

Edit: BTW, here's a legit posting from B&N after I reset my password.
