The Junk Mail Seems To Be Getting More Sophisticated!

There seemed to be a time - way back when - when you got junk email the messge was included in the email.

Now I am seeing more and more junk mail that has "eye-catching" subject lines like "reduce your debt" or "free money" - please see my Grant Basics 101 Blog - but the body of the junk email sometimes just includes a line or two prompting one to "click here".

Of course this means that the junk email wants you to go to their website.

You just can't be too careful these days! Legitimate-looking clicks could be not-so legitimate!

When these kinds of emails show up in my inbox - I delete them!
