I guess people think IT is like a toaster...

This woman sent this email to all of IS. Managers, programmers, everyone...

That being said, it made me think about why she would send it. Anyone who can use email must get spam, so if she opens one of the attachments, she would probably see that. Its a common method of getting around email filters - and one that normally gets filtered by our message filters.

I guess she just assumes because it isn't really to her, that its an error, not some person on the internet being shady/clever (it is a pretty clever way of doing it frankly). When she pushes the bread down, she expects toast back up, not a bagel.



I am receiving tons of these notifications about e-mails that I have not sent. Can you please look into for me.
