In reviewing some of the captured SPAM early this morning, this free email offer caught my attention. Spammers try to appeal to our sense of getting something for free or a better bargain. There are no free lunches or even candy bars on the Internet.  SPAM should be considered like a telemarketing call out of the blue, and folks should always be careful, even when our favorite temptations like chocolate are offered.

One study cited that 70% of folks would disclose their password for a bar of chocolate.  Hopefully, the importance of security has increased.
