I did however contact my Mom immediately upon receiving the first one because I didn't want her clicking on it thinking it was actually from Facebook. I'm constantly telling her "Don't ever click on links in e-mails or open attachments if you're not absolutely sure what they are and who they are from. If you think it might be real, go to the actual website by typing in the address yourself, if it's real, they'll have something about it on the website." She's learning. Now she tells my aunt "Don't click on that stuff!" Thanks for the link JoCarole! __________________ ~Tina Marie Hilton of Clerical Advantage & author of the VA Survival Guide & Workbook

Gosh, those people are clever. I'm really afraid lots of folk don't know enough not to click on the attachment. Maybe I'll copy one of the messages and put it in my next newsletter. People should be educated about these slime bags. __________________ Mary H. Ruth/Virtual Writing & Communications http://www.writingVA.com
