Take a really close look and compare the addresses of the 2 sites (the one to which Trisha directed you, and the other girl's.) Do they match each other?
There are many scam artists who create a bogus website that looks exactly like a legitimate one, then send mass e-mailings in an attempt to con recipients into logging in and providing sensitive information such as SSNs, account userids and passwords, etc. A few years ago, there was a group that was brazen enough to pose as the FBI, seeking information purportedly to thwart identity theft! The FBI's real website is
www.fbi.gov, this was something like
www.fbi.net; but the bogus site had the same-looking main page as the legit one.
