        <description><![CDATA[I get almost zero spam at home and I don't have a filter.  It's because I don't give out my email address to everybody that asks for it.  I don't allow it to be published.  If people were just a little smarter, they too could save themselves the hassle.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Pay close attention to the details.Our CFO received one of these telling him about a lawsuit.He ask me to look at it because if there was really a lawsuit, it would most likely come by certified mail or sheriff's department delivery.Going to the website, it looked very professional, as if it was a US Goverment web site complete with their logo's and banners.But the domain was not us.gov or anything close.And the IP address was common to spam.Looking at the letter itself, the date format was day-month-year, not the US convention of month-day-year.And finally, there was incorrect grammer usage.So we sent it to the bit bucket for recycling.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The defenses most of us have around us are considerable.  Email filters try to capture these types of attacks, anti-virus and anti-malware software detect and clean infections, and IT professionals are hired to manage these services and look for signs of infections not caught by the software.However, one thing that can improve the situation dramatically is training.  Users who are well trained to spot the warning signs are unlikely to be affected by such scams.  They develop a healthy sense of skepticism and the ability to search places like Snopes.com to avoid being taken in by scammers.What controls do you have to avoid phishing attacks and fix infected computers?]]></description>
