Be on the lookout for scam emails

One of the easiest ways to spot a scam email is to look at the sender's email address.

The example below pretends to be from my Rackspace email provider. When you look at the sender's contact information, however, it is from Emailsrvr Technology christie@mynmgs.com. It is not from Rackspace or even the fake new email provider.

In another example I received a message and a link where I could see  my updated Social Security information. It came from hebeisenesquiviascan.h.c.9598.gmail.com@byw3bj.fj77.fdske.com. Hmm. A gmail address for a government site. I don't think so... Another one trying to hack my Social Security information came from email address arensdfas@isgaroup.net. I'm sure isgaroup must be another name for Social Security.gov Department! Ha! 

Always check who your email is from before you reply or click on a link - even if it appears it came from a friend.

It's even a problem with text messages, as this one popped up for me: [‎A‎M‎A‎Z‎0‎N‎] We noticed unusual purchasing activity on your account. To protect your account, we have suspended your recent order. Please log in to verify your identity and resolve this issue. https://shorturl.at/7IuYP?VLZ=nTN9LHMfhT

I have a problem with this message. I don't have any orders with Amazon. If I did, I could have easily clicked on the link thinking there was a problem instead of going to the Amazon web site to check on the status of my order.

WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.
A generation that walked to school and then walked back.
A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.
A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with their Friends.
A generation that played hide and seek when dark.
A generation that made mud cakes.
A generation that collected sports cards.
A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each , then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money.
A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.
A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.
A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a Kid.
A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.
A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.
A generation that had parents who were there.
A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake.
A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try.
I loved Growing up when I did. it was the best of times.
