    I haven't got any emails yet. But thanks for your advance alert. I will be careful about the emails came from Fedex.

    NEVER open an attachment you are not specifically expecting.

    If a shipping company is going to send you a tracking number, they do not create a zip file--they put it in the email.

    Always think before you click!

    Oh geez! Nowadays bad programs are competing as best seller in the market.
    Have you heard about the DNS changer malware? It said to disconnect and prevent you from connecting to the internet if your computer is one of those that are infected with the virus since November 9 (2010 or 2011) not sure of what year.

    My favourite is one from Verizon telling me my bill is due for payment.

    Here's why I like it:

    1) I don't have an account with Verizon;
    2) I don't live in a country where Verizon operates;
    3) the email is addressed to me and about 20 other people at the same time.

    They're not even trying.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

      I got one from supposedly American Airlines with a download of my e-ticket from Detroit to Colorado Springs.

      Uh, I don't fly unless it's an emergency with my daughter in a totally different state and with my preferred airline, Duh!
