Worth a repeat - see it here.

You can never go wrong by doing the right thing.

4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions.

There are three kinds of people, those who are good at math and those who aren't.

There are two kinds of computer users: those who have lost data and those who are about to — backup your Mac!

I've gone a step further in a few cases. For the inevitable bank & Paypal scams, I've used a browser to go to the legitimate site & get their fraud/phishing email contact. Keep it in the Address Book.

From Mail, open the "long header," then forward RIGHT AWAY to the fraud reporting email. Don't delay, as scammers move their addresses frequently to try & avoid getting caught.

In Mail menu: View / Message / Long Header

Occasionally I receive an email from the "real" bank that verifies the scam & thanks for the forwarded sample.
