Is it simplysomeone hacking your account just to see if they can? Or is itassociated with the antivirus software business?Regardless of why we must continue to fight against SPAM, the message here is Dont ignore it! Maintaining your reputation is key to the success of your career and ignoring a potential problem could easily result in generating a damaging impression. Most people receivingspam email from youremail address will assume you sent it. Unless you want them to think youare selling drugs or sex, advise potential recipients of the problem. An email that containsone single link and nothing more should never be openedunless you were previously advised by the sender to expect it. Any emails that advise youare the beneficiary of money are SPAM! Any emails that ask you to send money are SPAM! That goes for phone calls too unless its your childrencalling. An email that seems to requesttoo much personal informationor any financial data is SPAM. You have an opportunity and an obligation toreport SPAM or rid your computer of viruses to protect others and to maintain yourreputation.
