I am off to Guild today! Hopefully I will have time to post another entry later today – they are having a speaker from the Spinning Society of Long Island! I am looking forward to meeting her.
In other news, Julia has posted a wonderful bit regarding the hats on Colonial House! I am sure that the knitting viewers have taken note of the different caps and our friend Julia has found their history and a pattern!
Also, this morning I received an email allegedly from Paypal. It was suspicious, so I got onto their website (not through this email, but separately) and alerted them. Sure enough — it is a fraud. I know I am not the only one out there using Paypal — so be very careful!! This email had a link to “verify your account” – the link that was enclosed in the email said something like http://www.paypal.com etc. but in fact, the URL did not match that address! tricky bastards.

I have gotten similar emails about paypal and ebay, (and my BF has gotten one about amazon)… They all say something about verifying my account.
The trickiest was the ebay one. It said a $15 charge had been attempted on my “account” and could I please click here to verify. It was not on “ebay stationery.”
In most cases, they are just trying to confirm your email address and not, as I suspected, trying to get banking info. But now I am an eagle-eyed email reader for sure.
Thanks for the warning, Clouseau!!
Hey Ann, it was fun seeing you at the meeting today and thanks for the scone. :) I hope the mean ladies let us talk at the luncheon. And I hope you got some useful info from the spinner. Have a good weekend.
In regards to your info about the bous paypal email my husband and I received a very authentic looking ebay email as well. It said that someone was trying to access our account and we needed to change our password. It asked for all of our personal info as well as checking account numbers & social security numbers. Looked legit but it wanted so much info we became suspicious. Everybody really needs to watch out. There are some sneaky SOB’s out there.
