Yesterday, I received one of those infamous phishing emails…
What provoked my interest and my written journal note here was the narrative within…
It had allegedly been written by a ‘generous’ couple who had won the national lottery and wanted to share their wealth with several random beneficiaries…
Suffice to say, I think the most upsetting thing about this message wasn’t the deceptive fable…
It’s that some poor, naïve recipient will believe it…
There’s going to be a person out there, who will follow through with the details outlined in the email to acquire the supposed, benevolent donation…
I sometimes mistakenly think of theft as somehow weaker and less damaging than other self-preservative motions, but this was a reminder of just how much it can ruin a life…
When that phishing email does its dark work, the concealed, shadowy perpetrator on the other end will have access to important details that can allow them the opportunity of cleaning a person out of all their assets…
The thought incited by the email was that theft should never be taken lightly, no matter how small or ‘justifiable…’
