This is a bit off topic for this blog, I know, but the unfortunate reality is it is about something that affects us all. I myself get a phishing scam email at least once per week, sometimes more.  I am often tempted to play along for a while to waste the bad actor's time, but unfortunately that wastes my time as well.

So this is what I do now, and I am recommending it to you all, my dear readers.  I simply forward the email to both [email protected] AND [email protected].  If I get a phishing text message, I forward it to SPAM (7726).  The more people do this the better for catching the bad guys.
