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.

A UPS scam, where victims are lured into clicking a download link, is sweeping through inboxes. It’s happening right now but the lesson it teaches us is good for all time.

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.

But what if that email also asks you to open an attachment, that appears to be a Microsoft Word document? Would you be suspicious? Would you click on it?

Hopefully not . . .
