Remember the "I love you" e-mail that went around a few years ago? The one that contained a payload of an online version of a sexually transmitted disease? Yeah, what's that old line? "Me love you long time"
Well, here's a new take on the whole social engineering thing. There's a parking ticket that will magically appear on your windshield. It will direct to a very official, albeit phoney, website that will have its electronic way with your computer.
That's right, you will have been ....ed, and you don't even know it. Kinda like that trip to TJ, where a few days later you had this rash.....
Folks, don't take the easy way out. If you get something that looks genuine, take a moment to contact someone in authority to find out if it is legit.

Good Looking Out...
As always...good information, my friend!
Pretty clever but seems useless, Im sure now that the idea is out, someone smarter is going to do the same plan, but make a way to pay off the "ticket" online with a debit card. Then its trouble.
Hey Catman, I got an email from Ken today and he is doing fine. Just wanted to let you know man.
Hey Bullseye,
Thanks for letting me know about Ken. I'm relieved to know he's still kicking around!
