Subject: Scammers are using your profile to focus on vulnerable



"SEO" - a new career in this wide world of internet called a "search engine optimizer". These folks work for people who want to target specific slices of humanity. When you stroll through the internet, you find ads showing things you're interested in. This is accomplished by Google, Facebook, et al, keeping track of what you look at on-line.

Enter the scammers. Who are their prime targets?

- Older English speaking
- Female
- From specific areas of the country
- People with interests that do NOT include computers

These are their easy targets.

One of their key give-aways is misspelled word(s). They maybe only misspell one or two, but a sharp, wary target will spot that point and hit the delete key.

Microsoft will NOT send you an e-mail or message saying they see your computer misbehaving.
M$ will NOT call individuals - have you EVER given M$ your phone number?
