Dear Robert,
You Bozo. Why would I ever trust you, an avowed Twainiac?
Your friend,

Subject: Re: Rick's good fortune
I've been wondering what to do with the million dollars I won at a casino
on a $20 bet recently, Rick. So if you would send me your bank account
number I would happily put a few more thou in there for you--so as to help
you
pay the taxes on your windfall, my friend,
Bob in Nevada.

Yes, these Internet hackers can be dangerous. I on the other hand lucked
out
when I answered a Nigerian prince's email request. He said he was a Mark
Twain fan. His country is in turmoil and he needed a place to store several
million dollars for a short time. He seemed like a nice guy and he promised
me a HUGE gift for this small favor. I gave him my bank account numbers and
now, this morning, I am going to the bank to pick up my check for
$3,000,000.00! Isn't that amazing? So the lesson here is sometimes you can
trust these Internet things and sometimes you can't. I guess I'm just the
lucky one.

If you ever receive a message from a friend that has nothing but an

et link=2C that is also a sign that your friend's email has been hacked.
A=
friend will usually tell you what a url leads to or mention why s/he sent =
it.
The hackers are active. Last week=2C I received 4 of those and when I
conta=
cted my friends=2C every one of them had been hacked.
When your email server asks you for a second email address or cell phone
nu=
mber so you can be contacted by another means=2C be sure to enter one.
Whe=
n I was hacked=2C the person changed my email password=2C so the only way
I=
had to contact my server was through a separate email account.
I changed my password to 16 digits (the longest my server will allow) of
