Recently my work email has been filling up with spam. Despite the BBB’s strong firewall, filters, and other security, I’m getting two or three emails a day from various strangers with the subject “Fw: Your Photos.”
Inside it just says “Hi, Your Photos” or sometimes “Good Day Your Photos,” and gives a link for me to (NOT) click on. The links this morning went to different websites and the emails were from:
- mehrdad@starmarino.net
- rkaushik@jindalinds.com
- richard@kellak.com
- yvonna@vca.com
- enzo@saltek.com
but they’re different every time. I noticed that the links inside the emails all went to websites starting with http:// instead of the safer https://.
If you get these spam and scam emails, please delete them or forward to www.ic3.gov, the FBI’s Internet Crime Center.
Hi All:
To add to the original post, my friend Bruce tells me you can set up a junk mail rule to send anything with the subject “Your Photos” to Outer Space as they come in. (And a good thing because over the past week I’ve gotten about 18 more of these turkeys.
Bruce says, on the Outlook Home Toolbar select “Rules” then create your Rule, then go to “Manage Rules” to define further. It seems to be working.
