WARNING private message in e-mail
 
Hello

Warning

If you receive an e-mail indicating PRIVATE MESSAGE.

Do not open it.

It will send out a message to all of your contacts and will spread from there.

I received one from a trustworthy MLU source, now all of my contacts have been send the same message.

Eric, thanks for the heads-up.

I did receive an email notice of a "private message" from cmp magazine but fortunately saw your warning first.

Anytime I get an impersonal email with a link, or simply a link, I discard it. Your's today got the same treatment.

I always right click on "properties" to view the full message header. This will show a lot of info and let you decide if it is a good or bad message.

Cheers,

Hi All:

Please be aware that I inadvertently opened just the email portion of such a PM a few minutes ago. Clicked to open the wrong email out of a series of them.

It had no attachments or files to open and I deleted it as soon as I saw what it was. Hopefully it will not be one of those that sends a flood of similar messages out to the membership.

If so, I sincerely apologize, it was an honest keystroke error.

Cheers
Bill
