OT Beware of Spammers/Phishers

Had a couple of emails that nearly caught me - one from Recipes Galore and
the other from some other site (Buyers heaven or some such place) thanking
me for signing up and giving me "my" user name/password and login and
telling me to click the link to change my details.

Upon checking my very rusty brain particles I realised that I hadn't signed
up for anything and it was just another silly phishing episode by some poor,
lonely soul.

Be careful those of you who are prone (like I am) to blonde/senior/vague
moments....

I've been getting a lot of those lately. My email application has a reading
pane where I can see the contents of the message without opening it. I also
make sure that the headers are showing. Usually the wacky return email
address is my clue. I was getting bogus emails from Columbia House for a
while. Thanks for the reminder.

I am nearly downright hostile toward any email that comes from an unknown
source. As a matter of fact, I'm suspicious of email that 'seems' to come
from a known source. About once a week, I get something in from ebay or
Earthlink that might or might not be legitimate. My new keyboard has 3
delete keys. I use them a lot. I wish I knew what the other buttons are
for. Polly

Gosh Polly, my keyboard only has "one" delete key.
I am in envy! I used it the other day when I got a notice about winning a
lottery that I'm sure I didn't enter.
