SCAM ALERT - BEWARE OF SCAMS! There are a million scams right now. The USA is the 8th most scammed country world-wide.
You aren't safe on line or on your phone. Never, ever reveal personal financial information if you are using electronic media
in a public place. There seems to be little protection beyond your own common sense. The scammers/hackers use a certain
degree of logic and you have to have your wits about you to fend them off. If you get an email from a familiar name but the
return address seems odd, delete it immediately. I jettison anything I don't really know. I suppose I've lost a few addresses
that way and it does make me a bit sad, but I've just had too many headaches despite having virus checkers and a fire wall.
Luckily, I also have family members who can help me sort it all out.
I keep my contacts sacrosanct. Adamantly. Darned if I know how scammers get addresses, but it happens. Just don't give
anyone any personal information. If you are asked to donate to a charity, insist they send you information via snail mail.
If they won't do that, just hang up. If they seem to have some of your information, but not all, don't fill in the blanks.
It's the wild,wild west. Protect yourself!

Scotland Tours
Scotland trips 2020 - there are a few spaces left in Ed Pearlman's tours. One across the south of Scotland from Dunbar
to Ayr, with chances to take beautiful walks, visit the homes of John Muir, Sir Walter Scott, and Robert Burns, and to hear
Border pipes, fiddle, accordion, amazing singers, and listen to Burns's fiddle itself. There is also one space in his Highlands
and Skye tour, and one space in our Orkney/Shetland/Aberdeenshire tour. More info at www.edpearlman.net/scotland .
Those who have taken Ed Pearlman's tours give them rave reviews, but they are limited. That's the beauty and the problem!
Slàinte!
Maggie
