VIRUS ALERT: White Christmas

[Odee]

This is a NO BS post

With Christmas fast approaching,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

watch out for this...  be alert..

Please  read the following. It applies to FedEx as well,
 ================================================ 
The  newest virus circulating is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will  receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number.  NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. It will say that  they were un-able to deliver a package sent to you on such and such  a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy  attached. DON'T TRY  TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!  Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This  virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few  days.

Snopes  confirms that it is real:

I've seen that twice in the last week.  Not five minutes ago I got one from "Chase Bank" asking me to update my account info.  I found it odd because I don't bank with them.  I've also seen one from "FedEx."

Of course I didn't bother to click the links, so no problems for me.

Sounds like the love bug.

Seeing as ive had a couple packages that were days late in arriving, if I saw an e-mail like that I would have certainly fallen for it. Thanks for the heads-up!

I get a couple of hundred of those a day.  From Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Google Ads, Paypal, UPS, Fed-X, Chase, Merrill Lynch, and some other obscure ones.

Of course, there is not much left of them by the time they actually reach my mailbox on my computer.  Pretty much just the headers, and nothing else.

I guess i wont order stuff then.

Skuzzy,


Did you get the Victoria's Secret one yet?????

I get over 3,500 SPAM messages a day.  I pretty much get it all.  Most of it is being sent from clients who have my email address in their address book and their computer has a virus/worm on it and they are not aware of it.

Holy ****! Ever since I started using AOL e-mail, I dont get more than 1 spam e-mail a day, and the one I do get always makes me laugh. (Its this weight-loss crap. The title is "This is why youre fat". I laugh because Im 6 ft tall and weigh about 150 lbs. Oh yeah, Im REAL fat...)

You probably do not send out a hundred emails a day to different people either.  The more people you email to, the higher the SPAM count will get.

I never actually get the SPAM, but I do know about it.

Wanna buy a decent spam box skuzzy? 

[Skuzzy]

Already set in that department Vulcan.  Just because I know who many I get a day, does not mean I actually get them.  I want the headers so I can make sure we are not false triggering.  Cannot afford to miss any email in this business.

"Who many"?  It's official the HTC staff needs a spelling and grammar class.  Everyone chip in, come on don't be shy.

It's Friday afternoon,...what did you expect?
