Didn't have time to read it thoroughly but it sounds interesting. I only ever download e-books by well known authors that have been around for years in print and e-book format. I haven't actually got any new books lately for my Kindle as I have quite a lot already downloaded plus the mobile library visits me every month and alongside the actual books I have I have enough to last me my lifetime and beyond. :-)

As sad as it is, this all makes sense. The bad guys would do this, always watchful for an opportunity, this was almost predictable. Even I, supposedly security expert, fell for a scam a few months back :omg:, but fortunately the company that I was dealing with, not me, caught the scam in time and killed the transaction. :fun84:

Taught me a lesson, never take anything for granted and be forever always watchful: social engineering can kill all the most superior security software. Remember one of my favorite sayings: The weakest link in your computer's security chain is that piece of fleshware that sits between the keyboard and the chair.
