Beware of certain emails

All of us including me and this blog of mine gets tons of SPAM. But ID thieves and just plain crooks are hiding SPAM deep withing what looks like regular email. They are doing this by spoofing or in simple terms changing the senders email address to look as if it is from (and these are examples of what I received) IRS, FBI, USPS, my ISP, and even my own bank. All them asking for the same thing for your personal info. The ones from the IRS and FBI are so common place these days that both agencies have spam warnings on their sites. I actually find the ones from the USPS the most interesting because they say they need more info to deliver a package. My question is if this is real how did the USPS get your email address in the 1st place.

Do not respond to any of these emails. In fact you should not even open any of them. Honestly if you have any concerns that these email are for real, they as I suggest you call them.

I do not recommend you give any one your personal info. Especially someone you don’t know is real.

A warning of your going to see an old computer

Recently McAffee and Craiglist got together to see how much personal info was passing in the hands of ID thieves when someone sells an old computer. They purchased 40 computers, a combination of both desktops and laptops.

The results may surprise you, even though the sellers thought they deleted all personal info. In 20 of the computers (Keep in mind they did brought all the hard drives to a data recovery service). They were able to get enough personal info, to steal someone ID if they wished. In one case where the computer came from a business they were able to get enough info to steal the employees personal info.

They advise if you plan on selling an old computer, first get a program to completely erase the hard drive. They can be found very easily with any search tool and usually come as a bootable CD which you burn the image file to. Then reinstall the OS along with any program you wish to include.
