Yesterday I received three emails from another cca member, inviting me to join Jhoos. I thought it was odd, but since the person was a friend and in the same chapter, I reponded yes. Initially it looks like a Instant message program. Once you get inside, it wants more information, and it will put various junk on your phone and it will cost you money.

I tried to skip past the offer thinking that i was going to register with this site to communicate with this other member.

Well in a short period of time, it also showed up in my other two email accounts and I had already invited myself to join Jhoos. I also received a reply from someone at AT&T, that my system sent out a request for them to join Jhoos. I dont know this person and have never talked to him.

I got that twice yesterday...and deleted them both...one of them was from you, LB, though I know how those things work, and that they infiltrate your mail box and send them out automatically.

Fish on...

Generally speaking to all, stop using Microsoft products for your email and web needs.

Thunderbird. It's all you need and it's free.

FireFox. It's all you need for a web browser and it's free.

www.mozilla.com

Using anything else on a WinTel computer is paramount to being a few shy of a six-pack.

Or, get a Mac. Either one will work.

Not CCA, per se, but rather CCA members. wink

Guess the folks down on ifish will learn the hardway. They wont allow you to post any warnings like this. Die by the sword.

It also was sent out to a lot of PSA members.
