Things That Just Piss Me Off

This is a consumer alert, but the fact these people are out there trying to scam everyone really does piss me off. People need to learn more about how to recognize spam and scams in their email. It’s 2008 and people are still opening attachments in their email. It’s sad really.

If you’ve ever received a package via the parcel company — and most of us have — you might be tempted to take seriously an email that seems to come from them, saying they have a package for you.

Hopefully not . . .
