Heads up for virus email

SharkE — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 17:28:37 GMT

I got a message 'from my Insurance Agent' wanting to know why I haven't opened up the PDF file they sent me regarding they were auditing the files they have of their clients.

I go MMMMMMMMMM, so, I called my agent she said "why no I haven't sent you a file and I would call first to let you know if I did".

So, she told me I did the right thing by not opening it and she had been getting other calls too. I went right to the email and reported it as spam

Anyway, if it looks suspicious, call and confirm or just delete it

I get emails from my agent but they always use their logo and letterhead. Thanks for the heads up.

I tell you, folks, getting weird out there 24/7.

You don't know what is real any more. Scary.

Ain't that the truth! And they can make them look so legitimate!

Thanks for the heads up on yet another one!

If in doubt, throw it out. Great saying

My Insurance Company does not send out that type of email.

The only emails I receive from them are a monthly newsletter plus my monthly billing statement notification.

I don't click on billing statement notifications either. I just go direct to their site each month to view my statement.

We got an e-mail yesterday from our CPA asking that I send something to him as an attachment.

Before I sent it, I called the office to make sure it was them that really did ask for it.

The only email I receive now are notifications about online shopping-item shipped or was received as a return, e.g.

Nobody in my family uses email anymore; just texting.

You really have to be careful today.

I got a sister dumber then a box of rocks. She told me to quit sending her

123Greetings because she gets spam from them. I said "don't you have

Ccleaner installed". Nope, of course not. She still won't learn how to copy and paste ! Whenever , she wants me to read something online she'll say

"type in such and such, go down page one, paragraph 4, and click on that link to view what I want U to see". Huh ? Who does that?

I'm not Bill Gates, but, I can do the basics. Woman is scared she'll do something to pc and will have to take it to tech and pay for it and by the way she is tighter then a tick on a dog's rear. If she wasn't blood kin I'd drop kicked her rear long time ago. Gees, why me Lord.

LOL at your sister!!!

My sis is very tech savvy when it comes to her phone....which makes me even more aggravated when she asks me questions all the time about many topics and I tell her ....did you look it up with Google Assistant or you can google it yourself...I told her to USE YOUR PHONE to check it out I'm not your Google Assistant!!!...

We have our cross that's for sure. People like her don't need a pc, period.

Waste of money. She's lied to me about getting 123Greetings and 123 sends me notices telling me she hasn't viewed the cards I've sent her after she's told me she had. 'B'.

Now, she says "I unsubscribed" I told her I'm not sending 15 bucks worth of cards to you by snail mail if that's what your expecting. She can like it or lump it.
