Kirk, that sounds like a phishing email, someone trying to steal your personal info. I hope you didn't enter any usernames or passwords or anything else.
This is the origin, from the message: "HughesNet Support" <kpmalone@hughes.net> I assumed that it was phishing too, but I cannot access my account information on the customer support site. No, I have not released any information. The credit card that they are billing to expired this month and the new data needs to be entered... that is my assumption on what triggered this message... it appears to be valid. I am going to trace the IP address of the message next.
The IP address is 147.75.66.161, which comes back to "packet host, inc" in New York.
Hm, well, let's wait and see what the mods on this site have to say. It does sound like it was triggered by the card expiring.

OK TROOPS... STAND DOWN. I CONTACTED THE SUPPOSED INITIATOR OF THE EMAIL AND HE CONFIRMS THAT IT IS FAKE. WHETHER THE POWERS THAT BE WANT TO PURSUE IT FURTHER IS UP TO THEM... I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN, BUT AM IGNORING THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE. CAP'N KIRK
