Oh Okay

balaams_asses (or is it balaams_ass's?) blog in an effort to meet the community service requirement reached in the plea bargin presents this PSA (Public Service Announcement). Not really I'm just messin with ya.

Below please find an email that I recieved recently and then note the circles and arrows and comments below regarding how to spot dangerous and potentially harmful activities.



#1 You and a dozen or so other people who you've never heard of. Actually you recieved it as a CC: since "Kathy" really sent it to jwicks@twcny.rr.com. E-Greetings, real ones anyway tend to be personal so if you see a whole string of other recipients whose email addresses are similiar to yours. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE !!
#2 "Click Here" Red Flag Waving E-Greetings can be sent as links to webpages but so can malicious bad virus and worms.
#3 Click "Open" RED FLAG SMACKING YOU ON THE HEAD E-Greetings that are web page links open to the greeting. They never (that I've ever seen) downloaded anything and asked me to open it.
#4 "If you see a security alert, Click Yes" You are now bleeding red blood profusely because the red flag has been beating your head..... Ignore that warning, who cares if your anti-virus software is on its knees begging and pleading with you to reconsider. "Kathy" has sent you and 7 other people you don't know an EGreeting.
#5 I have not joined that club regardless how it's spelled !!
