Contacting Homeworking.com |
| Homeworking.com never sends out spam emails, viruses or email attachments. Homeworking.com works hard to identify scams and raise public awareness and is not involved in any dubious marketing. If you have received spam email addressed from an address at @homeworking.com then our email address has been forged and the email has nothing to do with us.
According to spam.abuse.net/: Sometimes spammers get mad at anti-spammers and send out spam with the anti-spammer's name, address or web site in the spam. This is called a joe-job and some people take it as evidence that they've "arrived" as anti-spammers if someone joe-jobs them. It's done, of course, to try to create trouble for the person being joe-jobbed.

|
What is a "scam"? |
| Spam is any email sent to you and many other people which you did not ask for. Spam could be promoting a product, a website, an idea, or sent to cause harm by including a computer virus or to generate panic about a virus. |
|
|
| A scam pretends to offer you a chance to earn or make money but in reality it's main object is take money from you. Scams are promoted in spam emails, websites, on lamp posts, in shop windows, in newspapers and just about everywhere. |

About email attachments |
| A computer virus is not the end of the world! It can be a real pain and it can be avoided. There are many hoaxes regarding virus and much hysteria, so you need to be cautious of both viruses and scare mongers! Much spam email specialises in causing worry and controversy so use your common sense. |
|
|
| Do not click on an email attachment. Do not open it even if it is from a friend or family member, and especially if you are not expecting it. Simply do not click on attachments within an email. Just ignore them if you are not expecting one! Get over the curiosity and be safe. If you are expecting an attachment, get into the habit of checking attachments in the Explorer or File Manager of your system - that way you can check the file type and know immediately if something is amiss. Use a good antivirus checker and in addition, a low cost program such as Quick View Plus allows you to safely look inside and check your attachment without activating any possible virus. |
