SPAM Sucks!
I know my plight is not new to any of you that have your own blogs and or websites. Heck…if you just have an email account, you probably suffer from the dreaded SPAM! My gosh…how can man or machine pump out so much crap?
Actually my home/personal account doesn’t get that much. The occasional email telling me I’ve won some exorbitant amount of money. But the spammers have definitely found my contact addresses for my websites and blogs! Fortunately, the email program I’m using is pretty accurate at flagging the spam, so clicking check-boxes and hitting “delete all” cleans it out…but it’s still annoying. No matter how many times I tell them I don’t need Viagra or Cialis, they still keep sending me the emails! 
The latest little trick I’ve seen is the email saying that I’ve successfully up for some website, and here is my password and user ID. “Just click on this link to change your password”. Now it’s pretty obvious that I haven’t signed up for these sites…but to the unsuspecting, they might feel they should investigate further. I don’t even know what the scam involves as I haven’t even looked into it, but I’m sure they try and get your password and personal information somehow. Ahhh…the tricks never end!
Just ranting a little this morning. As you can see…my posting has been very slow as of late. Between my “real” job and trying to put together some other sites and blogs, I seem to have over-extended myself once again. I’m afraid it shows as well in the number of visitors I’m getting. 
I promise to try and do better!
I had to tell you though, one of the latest blogs I’ve put together is for my high school graduating class. It’s a simple blog that will hopefully allow our group to stay in touch online and maybe plan a get-together every now and then. I’m having fun with it!
Ok…gotta go! Sincerely wish I could hang around and write more, but work beckons me!
