Common mistakes in email security

Jason Langridge highlighted this web article which I thought I would draw to your attention to. It is useful for you, for your staff, and more importantly for your clients (and prospects).

As Jason says:

·  You have not won the Irish Lotto, the Yahoo Lottery, or any other big cash prize.
·  There is no actual Nigerian King or Prince trying to send you $10 million.
·  Your Bank Account Details do not need to be reconfirmed immediately.
·  You do not have an unclaimed inheritance.
·  You never actually sent that “Returned Mail”.
·  The News Headline email is not just someone informing you about the daily news.
·  You have not won an Ipod Nano.
