Just a little heads up: I received a messenger request for chat from shakeel.khalil@hotmail.com. She claimed to be a VA, but then switched her story that she was new and didn't know where to start, etc. It all seemed awfully fishy, so I blocked her sn before it got any further, but I'm pretty certain it was some kind of scam technique. Her email is shakeel.khalil@hotmail.com

I just told him/her to send me their info by email. i hope it is not a scam but i don't think i am interested. Serena

Is it possible for anyone to have access to your computer through yahoo messenger or anything like that? Serena
