Wellsfargo Customers Upgrade 2009
This lame “phishing” attempt (to steal my banking ‘identity’) was delivered via e-mail at two in the morning – a clue. How many other clues can you spot?

Folks, I try pretty hard to be an optimistic guy; and so I would like to think that not one single person would click on a link in an e-mail they weren’t expecting and didn’t ask for; that everyone knows to look for “https://” (“s” for “secure”) in logon URLs; understand that there are full-time criminals and frauds on the Internet (and no police) and so use a “paranoid common sense” when online… I’m even so optimistic that I hope that everyone has heard of “phishing“.
I’d like to think that this clown wasted their time infecting people’s computers with mass-mailing scripts and sending this junk over the wires as not one single person would ever be *naive* enough click… not in this day and age.
But I’m pragmatic enough to understand P.T. Barnum’s quote.

• 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.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
