Many of you have heard Jeff Foxworthy's the "You Might be a Redneck If" and David Letterman's “Top Ten” and I was thinking we could maybe have fun with the hoaxes and scams we all receive via email and facebook.
You might have received an email scam/phishing when:
the unknown sender asks you to click on a link or open an attachment
the email contain a link, but no other information
the unknown sender is offering to buy your artwork without naming the piece and overpay for it
I guess the latest are about COVID-19 contact
Amazon Prime wanting to update credit card info
You might have received a facebook fake/hoax when:
it arrives as an image with no live text
it states something strange and you you are encouraged to share to help your friends avoid it
there are going to be a lot of US election myths arriving daily in our inboxes
