I did wonder what was going on….the email is written as if it’s from you and signs off as “your friend, Adriana’…not good.

Help me do no harm

I was surprised today to see an invitation from Goowy, some flashy something email rss whatever toy. While I was still wondering why poor Adriana send it to me, I find through some more posts, that the default setting makes it very easy to spam all you…
