Week 5 story

One day I was using the computer at two in the afternoon. While I was chatting with my sister on facebook I saw an add that said win a free Mac. I was stupid enough to put all the personal information it asked me. Immediately after I submitted the information I got an E-MAIL ATTACHMENT that said DOWNLOAD a video creator for your computer. Then I started getting a bunch of other E-mail filling up my inbox. I immediately called my dad to come into the room. He told me that I had gotten SPAM e-mail and told me to delete it immediately. He told me to be careful of trying to get SCAMMED. He also told me never to open the E-mail attachment because it might hold INAPPROPIATE stuff. He also told me never to sign up for games without reading the PRIVACY POLICY, because it might have MALWARE. He also told to be careful of IDENTITY THEFT and trying to be HARASSED. Then he went back to sending a CARBON COPY to hos co-workers and a BLIND COPY to his boss, and I went back to chatting with my sister.
