Coming soon to a cell phone near you....
PHISHING!!
We all get those "phishing" e-mails that look so authentic. The most popular ones seem to originate from Bank of America or EBay.
It's a simple scam; the e-mail says your account has been compromised or inactive but if you click on the link and update your account information everythng will be just fine.
Of course savvy computer users aren't fooled by the links that lead to some bogus website in China that's been set up to look like a real Bank of America site.
Most people just hit delete. Especially when the e-mail seems to be from Bank of America and you have a Wachovia account.
But there are always some who are unsophisticated enough to fall for the scam.
And now the "phishers" are trying something different.
They're sending instant "phishing" messages to cell phones.
I shot a photo of my first "phishing" message received yesterday.
A vist to the EPPI Card website shows that they are aware of the problem.
And now you've been warned!!!

Fear factor
UPDATE: It just occurred to me that perhaps the Sun-Sentinel hired someone from Channel 7 to run their website!
I'm old enough to remember when newspapers provided information not hype! What's the point of this?
Rupert likes Obama
Rupert Murdoch: love him or hate him, you can't ignore him.
Some fascinating insights here on his thinking about the state of newspapers and also what he thinks of Obama:("rock star") and McCain:(“unpredictable”). Read the story and watch the videos.
Andres O to right-wingers: "Go ahead, make my day!"
Looks like the Herald website is going a little "tabloid" on us today with exclamation points in the headline and the aggressive invitation for a "throwndown" to all the right-wing readers who will surely show up to "confront" Andres.Should make for interesting reading ....and of course drive up those page views!
