So I am always paranoid about opening them!

Whether or not you click through and do what they say, spammers are already thieves of the lowest order stealing time, resources, and energy from you. But there are people who are suckered in, I imagine mostly elderly; I was listening to a financial show and an older widow called in, brokenhearted and seeking advice. She had lost her entire life's savings, in the wake of her husband's death, because she got an email from "Nigeria" about a friend needing $2,000. There was literally no recourse for her; the money was gone. She was penniless, and losing her home which she once owned and now could not afford. There must be a special place in hell for those thieves. Mrs. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522714502210311748noreply@blogger.com
