Has anybody heard of the Dongreat Lottery? I recieved an email with
an attachment but I can not find any info about this on the internet. I am hesitant at opening it but I am curious. I don't want to get a virus in my computer. Lori Kayla |

1st rule, do not open attachments unless from a trusted source who has
warned you that they are sending attachments and what they contain. JJ Cheap teak, lots of it. Kayla wrote: > > Has anybody heard of the Dongreat Lottery?

If you know the person who sent it, ask him/ner what it is. Otherwise
delete without opening it. Also, make sure your virus check is up to date (updates no more than 2-3 days old).

Why waste your time on an obvious virus attempt. I tell everyone in the
office..If you don't expect the email, delete it! |

If you do not know where it is from, or if cannot verify it by phone or some
practical means, and you do not know who sent it to you, DO NOT OPEN IT. Just delete it! -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Kayla" <afwt_@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:...

My instict says "delete" but when I read that I won a lottery, well
it's tempting. Guess it gets deleted though. ;-( On Fri, 16 Apr 2004 22:25:37 -0400, "Jerry G." <> wrote: >If you do not know where it is from, or if cannot verify it by phone or some >practical means, and you do not know who sent it to you, DO NOT OPEN IT. >Just delete it! |

And lotteries do not use e-mail for notification; certainly since they ain't gots youse e-mail. |
