[Dialogue] Spamming etc.

[Del Hunter Morrill]

Favorite enticers I get are "hi, hello there, failure notice, undeliverable,
delivery notification, etc. all designed to make you open up.  They're
really getting cheeky out there.  That's why I ask people to cut/paste
whatever document they want me to read.  This includes documents from my
clients that they fill out before their first visit.  I've been known to
delete a message from a client because they didn't put an appropriate
subject in that I would recognize, and I didn't yet know them.  I'm finding
that we have to be so, so careful.  I get 70 e-mails at a time, and probably
no more than 15-20, if that many, are legit.

Any request via email for your information, name, address, etc. should
be avoided.  ISP's don't operate that way.  Also beware of being
referred to phony sites on the web to give your info.  Some scammers
are creating look alike sites stealing logos, etc. from the main site
and then getting you to give credit card, soc. sec., et al.

Only when you go to a legit site to purchase or set up an account is
info required.  You can usually check the "long header", which most
email programs will provide to spot spam and scan.
