This article and video are a bit off topic for us, but since we’re an online retailer and consulting service for ponds, it’s always been important for me to be honest and upstanding when dealing with people. It’s hard sometimes to trust folks when you can’t deal with them face to face.
And unfortunately not everyone uses the internet for honorable means.
In recent days (and I assume some of this is due to the holiday season) I’ve been getting more junk in my email inbox. Most of these are just harmless annoyances, but some are certainly more dangerous.
In the video below I expose several emails that I’ve received lately that appear to be from legit shipping companies. However they contain attachments that, if opened, could certainly cause some issues with my computer, or my privacy.
My hope is, by providing this quick review, you’ll avoid any unwanted and unfortunate online issues in the coming months! Feel free to share any related advice you may have on this topic below the video.

Good advice as far as it goes.
The use of BCC: is another important step in the safe use of email.
Good work…
I agree Jerry. And yes, there are certainly many more aspects of email safety that could be covered. I’d definitely suggest anyone that’s interested to do some further research online about it. For warned is for armed as they say. I noticed too that the US Postal Service now has a warning statement on their homepage about fake emails and calls being made using their name.
