AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Every once in a while you will get an e-mail message that appears to be legitimate. You might even click on a link in that message that takes you to a legitimate site. However, chances are, you are being duped into giving out personal information. Very clever spammers are designing fake websites to look like banks and commercial companies and then sending massive amounts of junk e-mail luring people to the sites.
Remember this, your bank never "loses" your password. The department of Homeland Security does not close your bank accounts and then contact you via e-mail. And, there is no Nigerian prince who needs your help to move a large amount of money around. Always check the validity of an e-mail asking for information by calling the company in question. You'll be glad you did.
Ladies, if you suddenly find yourself in charge of a baby or bridal shower, you'll need to check my site of the week, All About Showers. Every aspect of their design and planning is here. Tips and tricks to make sure the event is memorable are included. You'll also find some great "game" ideas, but only at allaboutshowers.com.
I'm Eric Spellmann taking you to the Next Level.
