Three exclamation marks means this e-mail is very important and urgent…
.. but since I never have – not once – ever – in my life – dealt with Western Union .. I think it is safe for me to Mark as phishing. (Congrats, Hotmail, for adding this feature [finally].)
Is it safe yet, these days, to say that, if it has an exclamation mark in the subject line, it’s from a scammer ? A new Rule Of Thumb?

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
