TechSoup Event This Week: Spammers and Scammers

[George Gundrey]

Announcing TechSoup's <http://www.techsoup.org> latest online event,
Spammers and Scammers.

What exactly is a virus hoax? Why do hoaxes often elicit the same result as
viruses? How do you protect your inbox and computer from unsolicited email?
Discuss answers to these questions and more as we investigate spammers and
scammers.

Join us the week of January 27-31 in the TechSoup Community's Virus
Vaccination and Computer Security Forum:
<http://www.techsoup.org/techsoup.cfm?id=218 >.

Topics Include:
* Knowing your rights: the law regarding unsolicited email.
* Using technology to curb and prevent spam.
* Direct marketing or junk mail, how can you tell the difference?
* Internet scams and credit card fraud.
* Safe computing: protecting yourself from viruses and virus hoaxes.

This roundtable discussion at < http://www.techsoup.org/techsoup.cfm?id=218
> will be hosted and moderated by expert message board hosts: Ivan
Wainwright, Roger Rustad, Ozzie Suitcliffe, Will Rondina, and Christian
Nielsen.
