Watch out for FBstarter phishing scam. It gets your Facebook login and sends emails to everyone in your address book.

This happened to me a few years ago with a Yahoo! IM, but I changed my password almost immediately before it did much damage. This scam starts with a nice greeting from a friend saying to check out FBstarter.com. It’s amazing how such a short message is actually more compelling than a long Nigerian tale of corruption and greed. I dutifully, COPIED AND PASTED the URL in my browser and got what looked to be a login page for Facebook, only the URL was FBstarter.com. I knew enough to stop there.

I thought you might be interested in checking out this new book just out on paper back by Tom Sturges, who really feels strongly that all parents, single, alternative, gay, nuclear, share a lot of the same issues. When Tom was 3, he lost his father, the legendary music producer Preston Sturges. Tom has imagined what the perfect dad would be, what he would say and how, and now he’s written about it. He has come up with some wonderful and common sense ways to deal with every day parenting problems. It’s: PARKING LOT RULES, and 75 Other Ideas for Raising Amazing Children. http://www.parkinglotrules.com/ I’d love to send you an excerpt and have you blog about what you think… just let me know

Kind Regards,

Alisa
