Tip of the Day Windows Update E-mail Scam

Today's topic is something that has been around for the last couple of years, but within the last few weeks, it seems to have crept back up again. This is a security issue and you all need to be aware of it.

To begin, this e-mail scam has to do with the Windows Updates that come out every second Tuesday of each month. The hackers involved with this scam are pretending to be Microsoft and they're sending out fake e-mails, telling users they need to install a critical update right away. They give you a link to follow, which takes you to a false version of the Windows Update Web site. You are then presented with a series of links you can use to download the update, but in all actuality, you're downloading a Trojan virus and other malicious patches. If your computer becomes infected with the virus, the hackers can then obtain complete control of your PC.

Now, there are a couple things you should look out for when it comes to this particular scam. First, the hackers usually try to send this e-mail out right around the time when a monthly update is scheduled to arrive. And in case you haven't noticed, we are now in a new month and the new updates will be coming out next week sometime (right around October 14, 2008). So, keep your eyes out for any unusual e-mails within the next week or so, because if it's going to happen, it will be soon. Also, keep in mind that Microsoft will never send you an e-mail about their updates. The updates will always show up in your taskbar and nowhere else. Don't be fooled by a look alike Microsoft image. Like we always say, just use some common sense when you're going through your e-mails. If something looks suspicious, delete it and forget about it. If you do that, you'll be just fine!

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

Did you know there was a cure for heartache?

There is. Laughter. Have you ever sat through a funny MarxBrothers show and felt the same way you did before you started watching it? Probably not. I taped a whole video cassette of World's Funniest Videos and I watch it when I get to feeling down. I can't help but laugh. It may not cure everything, but it takes away my heartache for as long as I'm watching, and
many times way beyond.

What makes you laugh? Figure it out and use it often.

Food for Thought

Five Ways to Make Newspaper Ads Sell
 
Newspapers usually command 80 percent of the ad revenue in anycity. That's because newspaper advertising works.

Here are five ways to make your newspaper ads sell:

1. Put your main benefit in your headline. Ads that try to be cute, or get people guessing about what they offer may work for some, but it's a risky way to go. You'll do better if your headline clearly says what you are trying to sell and why people should buy it.
2. Give people a time limit. Make your sale one day only. Put a big expiration date on your coupon. There are a lot of ads competing with yours. A time limit will encourage people to acton your offer now, rather than someone else's.
3. Use the same logo or look in every ad. People will learn to recognize you without having to read the ad. Even when they don't have time to review your offer, they will sense your presence and remember you another day.
4. Try those tricks newspapers like. They work. Put a border around your ad or include an arrow, icon, or bold text to make your ad stand out.
5. Show a picture of your product or service in action. People reading the paper look at pictures first, then read the copy.

Two guys from Tennessee
-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Two guys from Tennessee, Mike and Rob were on the roof, laying tile, when a sudden gust of wind came and knocked down their ladder.

"I have an idea," said Mike. "We'll throw you down, and then you can pick up the ladder."

"What, do you think I'm stupid? I have an idea. I'll shine my flashlight, and you can climb down on the beam of light."

"What, do you think I'm stupid? You'll just turn off the flashlight when I'm halfway there."

Juanito calls into work one morning and says, "Hey, boss I not come work today I really sick. I got headache, stomach ache and my legs hurt, I not come to work."

The boss says, "You know Juanito I really need you today. When I feel like this I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes me feel better and I can go to work. You should try that."

Two hours later Juanito calls, "Boss, I did what you said and I feel great, I be at work soon. You got nice house."

A woman went into a hardware store to purchase a bale of peat moss.

She gave a personal check in payment and said to the clerk, "I suppose you will want some identification."

He replied, without hesitation, "No ma'am, that won't be necessary."

"How come?" asked the woman.

"Crooks don't buy peat moss," answered the clerk.

When Donna found out she was pregnant, she told the good news to anyone who would listen. But her 4-year-old son overheard some of his parents' private conversations. One day when Donna and her 4-year-old were shopping a woman asked the little boy if he was excited about the new baby.

"Yes!" the 4-year-old said, "and I know what we are going to name it, too. If it's a girl we're going to call her Christina, and if it's another boy we're going to call it quits!"

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

Hello to all my Frugal Friends!

It's midweek as I write this. By the time you see it, the financial markets will have been in an uproar for a full week. I won't pretend to be able to predict the future (and I'd caution you against listening to those who claim that they can). I can't advise whether you should buy or sell stocks or anything else at this point. So much of that depends on your particular situation. Any changes that you make should be carefully weighed before you make a decision. Now is not the time to rush into a situation that you can't reverse later.

There is one thing I can tell you with confidence. The tools that you've developed to control your finances will stand you in good stead no matter what the financial markets do. Knowing where your money goes and how to save it is ALWAYS a good idea. It's especially valuable when times are uncertain. And, it's safe to say that right now, times are uncertain. So keep up your Dollar Stretching ways. In fact, don't be surprised if your friends and relatives begin to ask your advice on how to survive any economic storms that occur.

One last thing I should mention. There's a great thread going in The Dollar Stretcher Community on food gifts for Christmas. Could be a great way to make the holidays affordable this year. You'll find it at <http://community.stretcher.com/forums/t/6200.aspx>
