This week on Throwback Saturday night: things to look for in email messages

Hello everyone, here we are again with another episode of Throwback Saturday Night. The show is on Saturday on server 2 on the mix.

This week, we’re going to continue our treck through files that’ve I recorded, and of course they’ll have the usual music segments too.

On this edition of the program, we take from the March 31, 2023 newsletter from Kim Komando.

I even add a bonus tip for those that may not know too, and Yes, I change the name of the person to protect their identity.

Here are the items in which are mentioned that may mean that someone is in your inbox.

• Your delivery was unsuccessful: No, it wasn’t. If you missed it, you’ll most likely get a text or note on the door, not an unsolicited email. Bonus points if you know the tracking number.
• Action required: Your Payment Was Declined: Anyone demanding you act through an email deserves to be ignored. This one is often an attempt to get you to pay for nothing.
• Re: Anything: OK, there are times when an email with “Re:” at the start is part of a legitimate email chain, but it’s a common scam tactic to make you feel like it’s part of an existing chain.
• Payroll has been delayed: Does your boss email you with this exact phrase to tell you there’s a problem getting paid? If not, it’s a scam. Move along.
• Dropbox: Document shared with you: This one can be hard to spot, especially if you’re a Dropbox user. But follow good advice not to click email links, and you should stay safe.

Please be safe! While Kim has social media flyers and things, let’s pass the word on this. If you do want flyers and social media information to post, this is the link to use to get them. Thanks for listening to this edition of the podcast!

Its never too late to share things like this, there are always new people comoing online and since we’re on Mastodon, the word must continue to be spread.

Again, the show is on Saturday on the mix, and broadcasted elsewhere, check Internet Radio schedules to see if your channel broadcasts it.

Thanks for listening!
