My Thoughts

Things I've learned on the Internet (part 1)

1. If they start their email "my dear Friend" - they're not
2. It's not just scammers in Nigeria that want to scam you
3. Never automatically click on a link because you think it's ok
4. Even if you ARE SURE the link you are about to click (from an email) is real, hover over it to make sure that the actual URL, before the first 'slash' ends in what you would think it should - for instance, Ebay.com, Paypal.com, Bankofamerica.com, etc
5. People who say they want to give you money actually want yours
