Look out for Scary email
Permalink  
 


Last night I was on my PC, and got an email, from who, I do not remember, I deleted so fast, but the subject of the email stated, "delete all you files from Internet".


Just want everyone to be on the lookout for this email.


I hit "delete" and then "permanently delete" in record speed.

Just a tip, I  never open anything from someone I don't know. Nor, do I open "forwarded" emails that have not deleted all the addys that it has been previously sent to. Keeps the PC running free and clear.

I use microsoft outlook for e-mail. Nortons screens it all so I'm not worried about it. My computer is protected!

Hi Toni,

Thanks for the warning. I run McAfee and I should be safe, but it's always good to hear about new threats.

Take care,

Carol

Hi Phil,


Well, I just read this, I think I know what you are referring to, and yes, I did save just the first on, and then put the others in saved mail without reading, too damn scarry, but if you want me to forward them, yicks that means I have to read them,  Ill do it with out looking, o.k.


I have also been looking into AOL Security, and been asking the question, can someone just keep stalking you, and sending email, someone from the Security department is looking into this, and if they is a way to block them, they will let me know and send me an email, but I will have to have their ISP number, I am sure John can get that, do you think. Anyway, it CREEPS be out big time, to be stalked, Have you had any such emails, or has John mentioned any to you.  Let me know, O.K.  I want this to come to an end, I am sure you feel the same,  cross your fingers, that AOL Security Division will have some good news.   


Yicks, I just realized that this could be also read, oh, well who give a ..............!!!!  I know  sending HATE mail through the US Post Office, is against the law, but the internet is another story,  that is why so many crimes are committed on Cyberspace, they think they can just get away with it.
