BEWARE OF EMAIL HACKERS

I am sharing some very good advice here this morning. Through the internet world I have come in contact with an author named Abby P Stokes. She has a wonderful book for teaching computer skills to seniors (and those who just struggle with the whole thing) entitled Is This Thing On and she teaches classes too. I was especially interested in her book because I teach computers to seniors too. 
One of the biggest things to get over with them is a fear of the whole thing but in some cases that fear is warranted. 
Abby has written about email hackers before but she has just heard from someone who recently fell for this scam again. 
I have received an email from a hacker before but it came to me from my husband's cousin's email address and it was a complete scam. It was very personal and could easily have been believed. 
Click HERE to have a look at her article. She lists contact numbers to help you in case this happens to you or someone you know. Share the knowledge with your family and friends.
Say hi to Abby for me.
