Another email to Suzanne,
I wonder who she is.... oh well, here's another attempt to discredit the Democrats!
http://gop.com/images/Desperate_email.jpg
Dear Suzanne,
With a shocking speech on the U.S. Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed just how desperate and divorced from reality the Democrats have become in their unrelenting quest to impose socialism on America's health care.
In bemoaning Republican senators' opposition to the unprecedented Obama Democrat scheme to seize a fifth of our economy, impose hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and trillions in new debt on our nation, and put Washington bureaucrats between Americans and their doctors, Reid has gone way too far, and I quote:
"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"
"When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right."
"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."
If Harry Reid cared more about real health care reform needs -- like ending his trial lawyer allies' massive fraudulent litigation costs -- than forcing his party's socialist pipe dream upon an unwilling American people, he might be tempted to apologize for his shameless, and false, accusations.
Don't hold your breath.
I'm not surprised that Harry Reid has resorted to such a laughably desperate attack on our Republican senators and the truth.
The Obama Democrats will go to any length to attain their leftist goal of controlling every facet of American life. He knows that the American people don't want to surrender their health care freedoms to Big Government.
Republican senators are on the side of the American people, who adamantly oppose the Obama Democrats' health care takeover -- and with your help, history will prove it.
You and the RNC are all that stand between our sensible Republican plan for real health care reform and the Democrats' scheme to take more of your hard-earned income to pay for two new unsustainable entitlements while making the quality of your health care worse.
You can let Harry Reid know what you think of his poor understanding of history -- and his socialist health care takeover -- by sending him a personalized e-postcard here.
Then help our Party's effort to break through the Democrats' desperate lies and the biased liberal media coverage with the truth about their radical health care takeover scheme and support GOP senators as they work to hold the Obama Democrats accountable to the American people, by making a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500, or $1,000 to the Republican National Committee today.
Sincerely,
Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee
P.S.: Suzanne, send your e-postcard to Harry Reid right now. The RNC is working hard to hold back the Obama Democrats' desperate health care power grab -- please take this opportunity right now to support our fight against ineffective leadership and socialist legislation by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500, or $1,000 to the RNC today. Thank you.

Traveling by air this holiday season? Beware of email scams involving .zip attachments.
The latest malicious email uses the catchy "airline ticket and an ominous mention of a credit card balance" hook and "appears to come from legitimate major airlines including Delta, JetBlue, Continental, American Airlines and Virgin America."
Why be scared?
"The malware associated with this spam run is a Trojan downloader that’s typically used to drop other malicious programs on an infected machine. It was previously used in e-mail scams related to fake UPS invoices."
Best bet: never ever open email attachments.Traveling by air this holiday season? Beware of email scams involving .zip... more

Recently I recieved an email claiming that my lucky ticket has been selected and I won €1,000,000.00 (One Million Euros Only). I am sure lot of people will recieve this scam email.
Few questions to ask from yourself before replying to any kind of emails like .
Have you applied or did you put your email address on any ticket or any such programs which can actually give you millions without even buying anything?
Why this is the email not from any authorized website?
Why is the email always from free email accounts like yahoo, googlemail, hotmail etc.
Why is this email so poorly structured?
Why are they so much genrous in giving you such a large sum of money?
After answering these question you will come to the conclusion that this a scam email. They ask for your details, once you will reply to the so called agent. They will ask you to for your personal details and in the end you will end they ask for processing fees. If you further think to take the chance the end result will be that you will endup loosing ? These scammers normally send thousands of emails to thousands of people around the world. Lot of people fall victims to such scammers. For the record you can’t do anything legally against these scammers. The location they will mention in the emails will always be fake addresses.

Thousands of people, including many lonely and gullible British men, have lost large amounts of money after entering into correspondence with women on websites, naively beguiled by their warm words, suggestive chat and the sexy pictures they attach to their emails.
When they were asked to send money, which the women claimed was needed for British visas or to buy tickets for travel to Britain, the men readily agreed.
They never saw the money or heard from the women again.
In a final humiliating twist, they found out, usually far too late, that many of the sensuous "women" with whom they had been corresponding were actually men - part of one of the many sinister Russian mafia rings making a fortune out of such scams.Thousands of people, including many lonely and gullible British men, have lost large... more

US federal court officials have warned that hackers are emailing phony subpoenas embedded with malicious software to high-ranking executives to steal valuable corporate information.
Thousands of powerful US executives have received the bogus emails that contain links which, if clicked on, install software letting hackers take control of computers and swipe passwords or other sensitive data.
Internet security insiders refer to the attacks as "whaling" because they use social-engineering trickery involved in "phishing" but target individual "big phish" instead of casting nets in a sea of Internet users.
"The success rate was incredibly high," Websense Security Labs manager Stephan Chenette told AFP

It's the only way to curtail the the spread of misinformation, just don't pass it along. It will usually come back to haunt youfrom someone that does bother to check the facts, gets upset and blames you for sending it to them.
"Often, the message itself includes major red flags that should alert readers that the author is not to be trusted. Here are just a few of what we’ll call Key Characteristics of Bogusness:
The author is anonymous. Practically all e-mails we see fall into this category, and anytime an author is unnamed, the public should be skeptical. If the story were true, why would the author not put his or her name on it?
The author is supposedly a famous person. Of course, e-mails that are attributed to legitimate people turn out to be false as well. Those popular messages about a Jay Leno essay and Andy Rooney’s political views are both baloney. And we found that some oft-quoted words attributed to Abraham Lincoln were not his words at all.
There’s a reference to a legitimate source that completely contradicts the information in the e-mail. Some e-mails will implore readers to check out the claims, even providing a link to a respected source. We're not sure why some people don't click on the link, but we implore you to do so. Go ahead, take the challenge. See if the information you find actually backs up the e-mail. We've examined three such e-mails in which the back-up material clearly debunks the e-mail itself. One message provided a link to the Tax Foundation, but anyone who followed it would have found an article saying the e-mail's figures were all wrong. Another boasted that Snopes.com had verified the e-mail, but Snopes actually said it was false.
The message is riddled with spelling errors. Ask yourself, why should you trust an author who is not only anonymous but partially illiterate?
The author just loves using exclamation points. If the author had a truthful point to make, he or she wouldn’t need to put two, three, even five exclamation points after every other sentence. In fact, we're developing another theory here: The more exclamation points used in an e-mail, the less true it actually is. (Ditto for excessive use of capital letters.)
The message argues that it is NOT false. This tip comes from Emery, who advises skepticism for any message that says, "This is NOT a hoax!"
There’s math involved. Check it. One message that falsely claimed more soldiers died during Bill Clinton’s term than during George W. Bush’s urged, "You do the Math!" We did. It’s wrong. "
