Weird Email.
« on: September 28, 2008, 01:27:07 PM »
I received a strange email from some sort of "internet monitoring" outfit who are threatening to cut off my internet access unless I stop downloading copyrighted material----something I've never done. There is an attachment which is supposed to list my crimes of the last six months. I haven't opened it. Anyone else received something like this?

These emails are designed to get the receiver to click on something, or open something, which I suspect will do damage to your computer. Definitely don't open any attachment and delete it.




Did it come from Mince?
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

I ignore and delete all unsolicited emails. It's the best way.
