Apr 19, 2005 -- Beware of e-mail scam about the Pope

Since Pope John Paul II died a few weeks ago, shady characters are trying to play on people’s sympathies. The scam that is most rampant is the e-mail offering a “free book” about the Pope and his life. There is an e-mail in the link that people are supposed to follow to get the book. But what you’re really doing when you click on the link is setting yourself up to be flooded with spam mail. It could compromise your computer and, worse yet, allow these people to gain access to your computer files. There is no free book, so don’t believe it. And don’t click on any e-mail subjects you don’t recognize. Many people know to automatically delete e-mail from people we don’t know. But these people are tricky. They know our weak points. So, if you’re in doubt, delete, delete, delete.
