Our mutual friend

I haven’t posted a snapshot from my Inbox in a while… But I guess it’s kinda reassuring to see some things never change.

I hope you noticed what I ‘highlighted’, and – more importantly – I hope your brain immediately told you, “those URL’s sure look strange.. DANGER! DO NOT CLICK!”

Because those kind of URL’s are big-time “Red Flags”.
One can only guess at what the criminals have waiting for you if you click their link.. but my guess is it starts with a virus..

• About Tech Paul

I am a (semi)-Retired CompTIA Certified computer & network technician, and the owner of Aplus Computer Aid. I have been building/fixing networks and computers since Windows 95 was the new kid on the block.

I have regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here since 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers.) Sometimes I answer (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer is generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see is my own, typos and all. There is an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
You can write to me using this form.

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.
