If you ever get an email from someone that promises something that is too good to be true, just ignore it, filter the email, or report it to the FTC as spam. Spammers and scammers have been known to sell products and services and get people to become victims of their evil deeds only because they know how to make their claims seem so legitimate. [br][br]If you get this email do not reply or respond to it. Never share your credit card information with these people, especially if you do not know them. Do not ever do business with anyone online who does not supply their name, address, phone number, and email address. [br][br]If you do decide to read the offer, read the small print. Get everything in writing. Because once you turn over your money, you just may not get it back. So be careful and be smart. Your best bet is to refuse to accept or simply deny any offers you receive in email or over the phone. If the offers are sent by email, send the email to the FTC. Don't be a victim. [br][br] |

With the advent of wireless Internet, more and more computer users are entering the world of cyber space.
Yet, while these users are well aware of the importance of the protection of their computer when hooked up to regular internet providers, they are often oblivious to the fact that the same cyber dangers, and in fact even more, exist in the world of WiFi.
What you may not know is that same Internet connection that makes it possible to check your email from the comfort of your bed also makes it easier for hackers to access your personal information.
It is for this reason, the sharing of the wireless Internet connection, that protecting your computer when wireless is even more important than ever before.
