A reminder

[forsyth]

Before you click any links in emails claiming "unauthorized access" to a Paypal/Yahoo/Gmail/whatever account, check the link. Copy the link location, and look at it in a text editor. Chances are it's not the real site, it's somebody phishing. And if you go check, check by going to the real site, then logging in from there, not from the email link. People are more than capable of making an official looking link, that's not real. Be especially careful on anything like PayPal, where money's involved.

Also, that guy in Nigeria? He's not really working for an exiled government official with access to millions of dollars.

Thank you.
