George W. Bush
 
"But we will bring the weapons and, of course—we will bring the information forward on the weapons when they find them. And that will end up—end all this speculation. I understand there has been a lot of speculation over in Great Britain, we've got a little bit of it here, about whether or not the—whether or not the actions were based upon valid information. We can debate that all day long, until the truth shows up." —Bush, unwavering in his certainty that one way or another WMDs will appear in Iraq Source: The White House, "President Bush, Prime Minister Blair Discuss War on Terrorism," July 17, 2003

PayPal Virus and Scam

This isn't a Rant, but we think it is something that should be brought to your attention.

A new PayPal virus is going around. If you see an email from "PayPal" claiming it needs your account information, delete it immediately. If you open the email for some reason, don't click the link in it. Instead of launching a website, it launches an application that collects your personal information and sends the info back to the bad guys.

In general, never give out your personal or account information over email. A reputable service won't ask for information this way.

Shred paperwork containing your personal info if you want to protect yourself from identity theft.

Editor's Note: This is Public Service Announcement for all you Goofballers!

Thanks Rob. I got thay email tonight. My anti-virus software stripped off the virus attachment. I tried to send it to PayPal as a heads up but could not get an address where they accept emails.

Please forward fraud emails to "spoof@paypal.com" and ebay frauds to "spoof@ebay.com" also run a virus scan after dealing with fraud emails.

Thanks Rob! (0 replies)
