A Great Scam- How to Protect Yourself

This day in age spam is unavoidable. But when spam infiltrates my inbox, I can usually spot it a mile away. This week I got some unwanted e-mail that was more scam than spam.

Little Miss Techie

It was bound to happen sooner or later…Our 4 year old daughter is about to get her own computer.
