SPAM ALERT: e-mail from "service@youtube.com"

For the last few days Walt has been getting e-mails from the address shown in the header telling me that my video is on the top of YouTube, or it's been approved, or similar BS. This one's pretty clever because it arrives in my inbox, rather than the spam box, about half the time. But it IS spam.

If you follow the links you'll eventually wind up at the "Canadian" Family Pharmacy, purveyor of dubious drugs for several years. According to MX Lab, there's no real threat, but if you open the link somewhere someone will capture your e-mail address, and après ça, le déluge!

If you get one of these in your in-box, just move it to the spam box. Don't open it. You're welcome.

PS - Walt's e-mail is walt.whiteman@yahoo.com. Feel free...
