Phishing Scams Target 9/11 (10 year anniversary)

Be aware or cyber criminals and do not fall for email phishing scams.  It is important to be aware of all emails from unknown users and where they originate from before clicking on its contents.  This is because by opening an attachment or clicking a malicious website link, you could infect your computer and/or be a carrier to infect other peoples computers.  Also, donating money to a fictitious website is NEVER a good thing.  So if you want to donate, it is a good idea for you to manually navigate to the charity of your choice.  This will help prevent being victimized from these cyber bullies!  Be alert and do not be a victim of this scam!
