Private Eye Scam

You will receive an E-Mail that will claim to be from a "Private Detective" (or something similar). They will not tell you who they are and will claim that they are "Monitoring" your phone calls - Internet traffic - etc. They will ask you if you want to know who is paying them to watch you. They will explain that they understand that "You do Not Believe" them. They want you to click on a link and check an "Archive". They will give you some kind of password to the archive. This archive is supposed to show you a log of your calls or Internet traffic. By "clicking" on the link, you open the door to the bad guys to do all sorts of bad things to you. DO NOT FALL for this... just delete it and do not respond. The E-Mail you receive may be a little different, but the idea will be the same. Remember - WHEN IN DOUBT,CHECK IT OUT !!!!      Sheriff Karl Dailey
