Asherons Call: Spam and Viruses and Fraud...

Kesrick of Harvestgain sent in [B]non-AC-related news[/b] (*gasp*), but I'll post it anyway...

since so many of the AC community use Payal, a warning from PCWorld:

"If you get an e-mail message warning you that your PayPal account is about to expire, don't open it. If you open it, don't double-click the attachment. If you double-click the attachment, don't complete the form asking for your credit card information. And if you do fill in the form, call your credit card company immediately. And don't blame PayPal. The problem is an e-mail virus, Mimail."

Always good to be extremely mistrustful of any email... as well as anything and anyone else.

Trust no one.

...damn, as I'm posting, I get a message from, uh, Microsoft "Use this patch immediately!"

We all know Microsoft is clever enough to drop me from AC with that automatic update thing when they have something for me... even if I've been ignoring (and getting re-dropped) by that same patch for the last month...
