Make sure when you order something online it also has the little picture of a yellow lock-this indicates it is a protected secure site. Unfortunately, the internet is a wonderful thing but there is always going to be some Ahole! that preys on accessing personal information
from others online. Ladies don't open any email from someone that you don't know & for all of you FB lovers such as myself, don't post any personal information! Aside from the internet, Ladies always be aware of your surroundings, especially at night & don't readily give out any personal info. to anyone.

The emails I received just had a randome name as title, for example 're; John Philips', but it was sent from my mothers computer. I didnt open it and just deleted it. my mother had got the email opened it but not forwarded it, the virus just forwarded itself to all her contacts. I say 'all' it was just me and my uncle, lols.

snopes.com is a good sight to check out real viruses and hoaxes, just click on computers in snopes.

http://www.hoax-slayer.com/ is another site you can check.

Hope that helps.

Hey, I have had 2 now from your email, they were for Viagra! of all things, I just deleted them. The subject line showed "no subject" and I thought it was weird that you would be sending links to this crap. I will let you know if I get anything again, thanks for letting us know.

Thank you everyone, good to know all we can. I will keep all this in mind.

Here is something that happened to me once, not to do with a computer, but in ordering something and finding out what to do when things go wrong. I once ordered an exercise tape off a TV infomercial. When I was on the phone ordering, half way through the process, a woman kept asking me things like, would you like to get a set of these...no just the tape I said. She then continued to ask if I would like this or that or more of something else and each time I clearly said, just the one tape please and I put the charge on a credit card.

About a week later I get a box with my tape and 5 other tapes I did not order and see that it is all charged to my credit card...this was bologna. I called the company and told them I did not order anything, but the one tape. The lady then stated that the sales person had it down that I ordered the others. I said I specifically ordered the one tape and said a firm "No" to every other question that was asked. I got no where so I asked to speak to someone in charge.

A manager came on and said she was sorry but the sales person has it down that you ordered the other things as well. I asked her if these sales people work on commission and she didn't answer, but I knew from the way she acted they did....THEN I remembered something they did to protect themselves and I used it to prove my case instead of the other way around. I said...when I came on the phone to order I was told my conversation would be taped. I told her to go get the tape and she would hear every no I pronounced clearly. She asked me if she could call me back shortly. I agreed...5 minutes later she called back...said she could not find my tape...but told me she would be nice and cancel the extra tapes off my credit card. Sure she could not find it, just didn't want to admit what that sales person did for commissions.

Then she told me to mail the tapes back. I said no problem, can you send me a box or stamp to put them in and mail them back. She said no, they did not do that. I told her look, I will gladly mail these back, but I am not going to pay to ship these video tapes back with my money when I did not even order them. She got huffy and said they would like the tapes back to erase the charge on my bill. I said fine....let me mail them back postage due, but she said I could not do that either. Anyways to make a long story short I told her I had an incident before where I called the Better Business Bureau and they had told me anything I did not order that came to my home...I could keep. I told her she would need the tape to prove that I did order them and that if they had the tape anyways they would know I said no to each question.

I then told her again that I wasn't looking to even keep these tapes, but I was not paying to mail them back. I said if you would like them just sent a paid stamp and I will put them in the mail as soon as I received one. Never did and ended up with 5 free tapes I never really ordered or wanted to keep.

But I will tell you this. My divorce taught me to stand up for myself and the old me would have not pushed to fight for what was fair. I am no longer a door mate for my ex and I know what I deserve and how I deserve to be treated. I am a stronger person and a happier one also. This is why I say don't let these men make you feel bad about yourself. You all deserve to fight for what is fair...it is YOUR life don't let divorce make you a victim...let it turn you into a victor...in all things.
