Urgh... Wow... I had never seen the contents of these junk e-mails... It amazes me that someone actually opens and read it!! Are you afraid that it might contain some virus or trojan hourse program and will start infecting your computer and stealing your personal information on your computer? @.@|||
When I see e-mails from any name I don't recognize, I just delete it directly. You have no idea how snicky hackers and trojan horse programs are nowadays... You can basically get infected just by being on line. ~"~
So, be careful, neh... be very careful... I'm saying this not only just as a warning, but also because I am on your contact list and don't want these programs to get my information if they are in your computer... = =" No offense meant, really, but we should all be extra careful these days...
true..hum true..
I got these type of junk mail too. And guess what? they were sent to my work email account. Yes, government email acounts. They are just every where.
Download, install, spyware detection applications such as "Spybot Search and Destroy" or "Ad-aware" or "Microsoft Antispyware" (just google them), then run scans periodically (maybe weekly or every couple of days, but ALWAYS after updating these softwares for the most recent spyware definitions, of course).
Do it both on your personal computer and the office computer (if you can), I am sure you will find dozens of spyware on them...
Carina's computer got stuck and 當機 because of detecting too many spyware on there with Ad-aware (about 7x of them before the scan was completed)... just an example of how scary these things are...
I'm not the David Johnson mentioned in the article (disclaimer).
I do have a co.uk email address in which I regularily get email from barclays bank (re my account -- all phishing) and even job offers/business opportunities in the UK.. Considering that I'm not in the UK its a hoot.. Spam on B*st*rds
