Phishing... Take Care!

Hi,

Wikipedia define 'phishing' as 'the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

I get so many of these messages it becomes rather annoying to be honest.  But majority have poor english, spelling and other rather obvious give-aways.

This one I just received though is interesting as it looks fairly genuine.  If you follow the link it provides, the page it leads to seems no different to Bell's homepage.

If I was a Canadian resident, I'd probably have been fooled by it.  And I'm sure many have been.

The internet can be a murky place, take care!

Regards,

Musab

Offices of Telesma Consulting...

Hi,

Street View is an interesting service provided by Google whereby imagery captured by a camera mounted on a passing van is available on-line.

Using your mouse, you can navigate in the desired direction with a single-click, or zoom in or out of any area of the picture with a double click.

In addition the chevron on the road can also be used to proceed in a specific direction.

The picture here shows St. Andrews Street in Cambridge; this is where I had my first full-time job after graduation.  Our company, Telesma Consulting Ltd., was based in the offices just above the Barclays Bank you can see here.
