Beware The Scandalous Scammers! New For 3/25/08

As usual, there is always someone out there trying to scam you, send you a virus or just generally become one of the biggest pains in your rear end since you were born. This one is hot off the presses and came to my email. Try to ensure that you are following certain rules when opening your email, such as never downloading something from someone you don't know, or going to a website address that you have never seen before or been to. This will help to protect you and your computer.

Our newest Scandalous Scammers Award goes to mailer-daemon@groups.msn.com. It appears that they cannot unsubscribe me from some list that I would never have joined and didn't request to be unsubscribed from. I would love to know what this 2k attachment is, but curiousity does not win over my ability to keep working on my computer, and so it will be deleted permanently after writing this.

We're sorry, we were unable to remove your e-mail address from the distribution list coolgalsandboys@groups.msn.com.

If you see a message such as this, and you know you weren't a member of this or any group and didn't subscribe or unsubscribe. DELETE it and forget it. Do NOT open the attachments, as it is a good chance that if you do, you'll be left rebuilding your computer for the next week!

One message for the scammer...

Nice try, but we aren't buying! Get a life...it's not nice for little children to mess with The Ranting Queen!

Best Wishes,
