internet tip: Beware of Scams!


You can never be too careful when dealing with possible spam in your inbox. The image to the right is actually a fake paypal email newsletter that links to a fraudulent website that would try to take over your paypal account.

The best advice for never getting into trouble is NEVER CLICK ON LINKS FROM PEOPLE NOT IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. Any newsletter you get that asks you to click to login, you should just launch your web browser instead and type in the website and login yourself. If it's an important message the website will notify you after you login. Don't click on the link in the email. This way you will be a lot safer.

internet tip: Stumble

Stumble upon is one of the most fun firefox extensions you can install. Quite simply it's an easy way to discover interesting new pages and the people who like them. You will spend a lot of time just clicking the sumble icon.

It also has one of the most useful features I've ever found. Within two clicks you can email a page to a friend. This is a great addition to anyone using firefox.

If you don't have Firefox you can download it by clicking HERE
