• 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.

Thanks for this reminder; especially at this time of year. I’m hoping that folks are smartening up to these tactics.

Rick,
I am hoping too.. but I’m not holding my breath.
After April 15th, they will send e-mails that say “there’s a problem with your return! If you want your refund, you MUST click here!”
It’s as predictable as the sunrise.
Education and awareness does prevent a lot of *naive* clicks, so – Folks – be sure to remind your less-savvy friends and kinfolk to never click the link.
