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....

OT Beware of Spammers/Phishers
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.

OT Beware of Spammers/Phishers
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 "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u...

OT Beware of Spammers/Phishers
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.
