Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00333)

Obviously Yahoo isn't going to do that. Just think for a minute: with a little social engineering I could get your username and/or password and ask Yahoo the same thing.

It is incredible that Christina responded to that e-mail, as this is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Moreover, if (if, that is) she has a Trojan, her pc is probably is a zombie in a network responsible for other malicious assaults, spam and soforth, worldwide.

Do you all also *live* in the 19th century? There are more forgeries except from the Mahatma spam.

Theo
