Let me ask you a question: you get a letter in the mail box, delivered by a postman, asking you to send it on to ten friends or else you will get bad luck.

What do you do? Do you sit down, write out ten copies, get ten envelopes, ten stamps and then send the ten copies, or do you consign it to the 'round filing cabinet?'

How To Safely Delete Suspicious E-mails

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 05:14:34 -0400

Dear Computer Lady,

I read your newsletter each week, like some folk do the Bible.
I'm a "Newbie" at this game of computers and do not fully
understand the e-mail system in Outlook Express. I save your
column every week for references. But I'm stymied when I
receive e-mail from someone I don't know and to be honest I'm
scared to open them because they might contain viruses.

Is there some way to highlight the "strange" e-mail without it
popping open and possibly contaminating my system. This way I
can contain it, right click on my mouse and hit delete. Thanks
for the educational newsletter you publish to us folk out here.

Bill

The Latest Email Scam Is Nothing New

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 21:29:06 -0500

Q: I recently received an email that supposedly came from eBay that said someone had attempted to log into my eBay business account without authorization (whatever that means). The email instructed me to click a link to re-enter and confirm my account information to make sure that my account had not been hacked. Being naturally paranoid I contacted eBay directly and found that my account had not been hacked and that this email was actually from someone trying to steal my eBay account information. Is there nothing that can be done about this kind of thing? -- Wesley C.
