I had to read this email twice, to make sure… normally these kinds of emails have embedded re-direct links, rather than having you email the info directly to the phisher!

The moral of this email is that “you can be tricked” and that you have to “use your Awareness” of just how cunning the cyber-criminals really are, and they don’t care what happens to you!! There #1 goal is to scam you and steal your ID, your Money, and most importantly your Personal Privacy and once it is gone and you become a victim, your life will never be the same again!!!
So, Stand for TRUTH, Justice and the American Way… where your word is your bond, where a handshake is golden, where families live in neighborhoods and look out for each other in their community, and where we pick up others when they fall, especially if the FALL in the World Wide Web… help by sharing your knowledge and wisdom with your family and friends, and share with them this CyberHood Watch Social Network where they can learn what to watch for daily, for their kids, families and businesses online security & safety…
Thank you for all your support,
