Oh, you resident in USA then?

The FBI's remit doesn't run outside their territory.
Neither does the CIA, although they currently seem to think otherwise!

If at first you don't succeed,
maybe skydiving's not for you!

No I live in England but I was pointing these out because there are people
out there with less equipped pc's that could fall foul of these low life's
trying to hack into peoples accounts and stealing information for their own
gain .

So please send any sarcastic ignorant remarks to some who cares

Nope,

The CIA can't operate INSIDE the USA. They have the NSA for that.

Sorry if I got up your nose Brendan, a failing of mine I'm afraid.

I just get upset when the netpolice tell me I can't do such and such because the
FBI don't like it.
When it has nowt to do with them!

It's nothing to do with the PC's spec. or anything like it.

Never ever reply, open attachments, touch hyperlinks when someone asks
for information in this way and it is an exchange that you have not
initiated yourself. If they genuinely need your response they'll find
another way of asking.

As for helping the FBI - would you help any UK government department
just because they asked? I sincerely hope not!

Sorry i ment that some people dont have the software(or sometimes the
knowledge) to deal with these problems till after it has happened

Cheers

Yeah, Like top posting is indicative of inexperience of usenet, I
wonder?

To try to be helpful, it's generally accepted that it's best not to
try to be helpful by passing on every alert - for fear of creating
more noise, and disrupting the "to the signal" ratio. IYSWIM? HTH,
HAND

One could almost derive, from this comment, that you'd been watching
"Sneakers". If so, you may have discovered my second secret in this
unruly and occasionally untidy world...

The craze for ranting about top-posting is all well and good, but
unfortunately we're now in the position where people don't top post
but do quote innumerable levels of previous posts instead of just
snipping the stuff that's relevant to the points they're trying to
follow up. As a long-term poster, I'm sure you've probably noticed
that too. Damned annoying but at least we don't seem to see much in
the way of HTML posting any more (at least I don't anyway).

There's a woman at work who keeps on forwarding on those spoof viral
emails, e.g. the one about people driving around with their lights off
waiting for someone to flash them, then following them and killing
them as some kind of gang initiation ritual. She's forwarded on just
about every single one of them to the whole company, last one was the
one about Microsoft tracking your emails and sending you cheques if
you forward them on. Every time I follow up pointing out that
googling for a few keywords in the post will verify it as a fake but
she never gets the message. I also emphasise that anything that urges
you to "pass it on to all your friends" is highly dodgy, but she never
takes any notice. Perhaps I shouldn't include the bit about passing
on my advice to all her friends.

BTW go to bed!

If you're not paranoid, you're not paying enough attention.
