Email and Online Scams -
Have You Received a Scam Email?
A fake return address, like mylowes@triactvie.com, claiming
From Lowes, Your EGO Power+ Blower and $85 Card Is On The Way
Did you receive an email from a fake return address, like mylowes@triactvie.com, claiming From Lowes, Your EGO Power+ Blower and $85 Card Is On The Way?
Did they then instruct you to Begin Questionaire Now or something similar?
Well, don't fall for it. It is a scam, and if you call them
back or follow their instructions you will lose money and possibly
your identity! The people behind this are the worst kind of human
scum; willing to do anything to scare, threaten, lie, cheat and
steal money from anyone, including the elderly and poor. They
usually operate out of Nigeria, China, Russia and even some
developed western countries. Attachments typically include malware
to infect your computer, tablet or phone and allow the scammer to
capture your passwords. Another obvious clue is all the garbage text at the bottom of the email. That is
done in an attempt to defeat the anti-spam algorithms in your email client.

About the project timeline, I think we need to adjust the milestones. The client
feedback came in, and they want more emphasis on the user interface. So, I've rescheduled the design review
for next Wednesday. Can you make sure the prototype is ready by then Also, we should coordinate with the
development team to align on the changes. I'll send out a meeting invite for Friday to go over the details.
Let me know if you have any conflicts. Oh, and don't forget to update the documentation. I noticed a few
sections that need revision. I can help with that if you're swamped. Just send me the files.
On a
different note, how was the team building event last week I heard it was fun. We should plan another one
soon. Maybe a potluck lunch in the office I can bring my famous lasagna. Let's gauge interest in the next
team meeting. Also, have you seen the new software update It has some features that might streamline our
workflow. I'll share the link with you. Let's discuss it when we meet. Hope everything is going well on your
end. Keep me posted on any updates. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for asking about the weekend plans. I was thinking we could head up
to the lake on Saturday morning. The weather forecast looks promising, so it should be perfect for a picnic.
Don't forget to bring your hiking boots because there's a trail I want to check out. I heard it has a great
view at the top. Also, let me know if you can bring some snacks. I'll handle the drinks and the blanket. We
should leave by 8 AM to avoid the crowd. Oh, and I invited Sarah and Tom, so it'll be a small group. They're
bringing their dog, so hope that's okay. We can decide on the exact spot when we get there. I think the
north side has more shade. Let me know if you have any other ideas. I'm open to suggestions. Looking forward
to it!
By the way, did you finish that book you were reading I started a new one and it's really
engaging. We can swap recommendations if you want. Also, remind me to tell you about the new cafe that
opened downtown. It has amazing pastries. We should go there sometime next week. Let's catch up properly
over coffee. I have some updates from work but nothing too major. Just the usual projects moving along.
How's your garden coming along I remember you were planting some herbs. Hope they're thriving. Let me know
if you need any help with anything. Talk soon!
