Chas, is that your real email? If so, may I recommend you delete it from this post?

I get these all the time. A lot of the time it’s for Geek Squad, or something like it. Ignore. Oh, also, check the “from” email; it’s usually a good clue that it’s from a non-legit source.

Oh, I’ve gotten those too. They also come in the form of phone calls. I never respond to these, but I suppose if I did, they would want to “confirm” my identity and credit card number.

The other day I got a call from “Medicare” telling me I can get a FREE glucose meter because Medicare will pay for it. I explained I am not diabetic. “Well, what about your wife?” She is not diabetic either. “Oh, well, goodbye, have a nice day.”

I tend to err on the side of paranoia!

Too late. I already got it.

You think the Nigerian and Russian scams are bad? Just wait for the Lithuanian ones....

It looks like there was also a file attached? DO NOT OPEN IT.

+1 (509) is eastern Washington state.

+509 is Haiti.

My iphone frequently misidentifies incoming calls from eastern Washington as coming from Haiti.
