After reading your post I logged into my yahoo e-mail and scanned the first page or two, which looked like the usual spam and old mailing list stuff. (I check g-mail daily).<br /><br />I do get enough of "your mailbox is bad/full/whatnot please provide your login, password, whatever other personal information to fix the issue" in my work e-mail. I sometimes glance at them, but I delete all of them. Most of them end up in the spam system we have at work which has a preview feature. Some of them want a reply while others have a link to click.Claire Govertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186520237984343706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-20368890446456907882010-11-11T14:45:28.072-08:002010-11-11T14:45:28.072-08:00hmm, I never check my yahoo account.

I had an email today in my aol account from UPS - now I'm waiting for a package from the US so I thought yeah this is legit, clicked the email open and nearly clicked on the link they provided to view my delivery details when my anti-virus pops up all red and angry saying how the link has a malicious virus!!! So the mail got deleted asap. <br /><br />So I guess the moral of the story here for me is to always keep my anti-virus software up to date!!!
