Hi, I just received this supposedly from my sister in law: Hey Nancy. How are you? Look at this [link deleted] Do you know about this site? Sincerely yours, Carol When I went to forward it to her to ask if she sent it to me, I saw that it was not her e-mail address in the from slot. So Into the trash it goes. Nancy W
I get those kinds of emails from my "daughter". not her, of course. I use Outlook Express and in the upper part of the screen where it lists the emails coming in, if you right click on the sender, then open Properties, you can see that it wasn't actually sent from her email address. I do this quite often before I open anything that remotely makes me nervous...
