How to know it’s a Spoof Email?

I’ve had many clients asking if they are safe to open a particular email. Some emails would be really valid, but most emails would be fake. So next are some points to help identify fake emails:

• An authentic email really coming from a particular company will address you by your first and last names or your business name.
• It will not ask you for sensitive information like your password, bank account or credit card details.
• Most fake emails threaten that your account will be in jeopardy if you do not take action immediately.
• An email that urgently requests you to supply sensitive personal information is usually an attempt at fraud.
• Fake emails often contain misspellings and grammatical errors or are written in a language which you did not set as preferred for your PayPal account.

Remember not to click any links in suspicious looking emails. Stay safe

Did you forget that attachment?

Today I was sending an email from Hotmail, Microsoft’s email service. Upon clicking the send button, the following message loaded:

Apparently it found the word attachment, and since I didn’t have any attachments with my email, it asked if I want to add any before sending my email. It’s a pretty neat addition to Hotmail which I will surely find very useful It’s not the first time that I received a reply like “What attachment?”! So kudos to the Hotmail team

Google Event Tracking Failing

We’ve been using Google Analytics events tracking starting from this year and they are very useful. This week we noticed that website events weren’t being tracked, and haven’t been from the beginning of May.

After checking, everytime we tried to call the pageTracker._trackEvent method, it always returned fail. After searching and testing a bit, we noticed that apparently google made some changes to the trackEvent method.

Where before they allowed the optional_value (the last parameter if the method) to be a string or a number, now it is allowed to be a number only… thus the correct params would be:

pageTracker._trackEvent(‘my_category’, ‘my_action’, ‘my_optional_label’, 14);

Hope this helped some people It helped me

During this last week, Microsoft released a new version of its Microsoft Outlook Connector. This happened to add support for the recent update done on Windows Live Calendar which is still in Beta.

You can now take advantage of Outlook’s great calendar and time management features and still access your schedule on the web anytime, and anywhere… and always for free (ok you need to buy outlook first… although there are other ways to get outlook… like… maybe some special… very special promotions… …!! )
