I have looked at some of your forums here, and I think you are doing a wonderful job of trying to keep your friends well informed and up to date on the latest threats. Thank you, Sandra

Hi Sandra In the U.K. we get scams for most High Street Banks Linda

Thanks for the Heads Up. I have a question, Is it possible that the person with yahoo.co.in account has been hijacked? Usually the yahoo accounts are yahoo.com if you know what I mean.

Ron, To answer that question. It is very easy to get a domain name almost similiar to anyones, it is very easy to miss-spell a domain URL then be directed to a 'mirror site'. Also, you do not have to be a computer 'geek' to cover a domain name with a code that makes it look like a 'legal' site. Beware of any emails from Yahoo accounts, admin, security etc. It is very simple to forward them to Yahoo, if they 'bounce' then you know that they have viruses in them. Also Paypal warnings (send to spoof@paypal.com) If they arew genuine, they will soon tell you. Other addresses to send dodgy emails to are. Ebay. spoof@ebay.com AOL. tosreports@aol.com Any email that you think is a scam, con or fraud/phishing email. scams@fraudwatchinternational.com One other thing, Sandra advised getting crazy browser, it is better than IE but it still is part of the IE stable & prone to many attacks from hackers. Mozilla's Firefox is your best bet & it is a very user friendly browser. Get Firefox! Your security friend in Las Vegas

As for your question about yahoo.co.in, it means that it is an email from India. I know because my husband & his family is from there & I get email from his famil & friends there.
