Safe Internet Surfing
Dangers of e-mail
Contest scams, don’t give out any of your information, remember to say NO
Viruses: don’t open attachments even from friends and family unless you are expecting the attachments from that person.
If you are writing to several people at a time, use the blind copy button to put in your addresses (BCC). If you are forwarding e-mails that have lots address delete the address before you forward it as a courtesy to the people you are sending to and also to yourself.
Pay attention to URL’s. Phishing is another way for scammers to do social engineering,
Study your interests, etc. If you are called about your credit card don’t answer any questions. Then you call the number on the back of your credit card to check if there is a problem. Don’t trust e-mail links. Use favorites for frequently used addresses.
Tip of the day: when you are done banking close your browsers before going to another site. There were more tips but I didn’t get them all down. A Firewall keeps things out but lets things go out.
Janee did a good job on the subject. She answered many questions and brought many more when going back over my notes.

Contest scams, don’t give out any of your information, remember to say NO
Viruses: don’t open attachments even from friends and family unless you are expecting the attachments from that person.
If you are writing to several people at a time, use the blind copy button to put in your addresses (BCC). If you are forwarding e-mails that have lots address delete the address before you forward it as a courtesy to the people you are sending to and also to yourself.
Pay attention to URL’s. Phishing is another way for scammers to do social engineering,
Study your interests, etc. If you are called about your credit card don’t answer any questions. Then you call the number on the back of your credit card to check if there is a problem. Don’t trust e-mail links. Use favorites for frequently used addresses.
Tip of the day: when you are done banking close your browsers before going to another site. There were more tips but I didn’t get them all down. A Firewall keeps things out but lets things go out.
Janee did a good job on the subject. She answered many questions and brought many more when going back over my notes.
