   Hi Mark,   
      
   Of course *I* know that.  And I hope lurkers of this echo know that.   
      
   And..   
      
    ML>not to mention that no one should be opening anything from

    ML>shipping notices, or similar...   
      
   ...that too.   
      
   Some look very similar to the real thing such as a message from Paypal, eBay,   
   Interac, etc.   
      
   I just get pissed off that I have to "deal" with them and get rid of them.   
      
   Sometimes Outlook (my MS Office installation) does a pretty good job putting   
   them in the Junk folder.   
      
   I just can't believe that this method still remains the most effective way to   
   drop a maleware/ransomware payload.  And there are people who actually fall   
   for it!   
      
   I rarely even answer my own phone (land-line) anymore since most of the calls   
   were stupid "This is your captain speaking.." or "This is your Microsoft   
   specialist..your computer is running slow."  I remember getting those way back   
   in the early 2000's when internet momentum was building for dialup users, and   
   the same messages are being used today.  I don't bother with phone surveys   
   either.   
      
   But I digress..
