Re: [Elecraft] OT: Beware
Fred, ~90% of the really good ham apps initially written for Windoze runs in Linux, sometimes much faster than in its native environment. The only problem is to know HOW... This list isn't a good place to advocate Linux (or any other OS), however there is a general rule: 1. Try 2. If does not work, ask 3. If nobody knows, it does not mean that this app definitely can't work... I want to remind that the OS is an environment only! In my experience, it is worth to investigate the internal mechanics, it is also good chance to learn something new. No bad surprises in the future! BTW you don't need to install Linux or any app, reformatting the HD is totally waste of your time. All what you need can be done without installation, just boot from a CD/DVD or memory stick and you are on! Just my $0.02... 73, Martin, OK1RR K3 #7554 KPA500 #1565 KAT500 #849 P3 #2752 Dne 4.9.2013 19:39, Fred Smith napsal(a): I had 2 really good days with Linux the day I downloaded it and the day I reformatted the hard drive it was on.

You receive a phone call from a fast-talking dude who obliquely purports to be from Microsoft. His pitch goes something like, blah blah this is windows support, we're getting error messages from your computer. Can you get to your computer now ... blah ... we can solve it ... it's all very secure ... blah, at which point I hung up. Have now had 3 more of them. While there's probably no one on this list who would fall for this, it might be wise to advise less-technically inclined family members of this and to hang up immediately. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2013 Cal QSO Party 5-6 Oct 2013 - www.cqp.org On 9/3/2013 9:08 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Be safe and be aware, call the phone number on your billing account for your ISP before sending email to any requests like that. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] OT: Beware
Dick, I get those things occasionally, and I put them directly into my junk mail folder and forward them to the phishing email for my ISP provider. Although they look real, careful inspection shows that they are not from the ISP provider. My ISP would never ask for an account number and password to be sent via email. Be safe and be aware, call the phone number on your billing account for your ISP before sending email to any requests like that. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/3/2013 11:24 PM, Richard Fjeld wrote: A couple days ago, someone sent a post saying his email got hacked and apologized for any spam we may get.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: beware of strange replies to your ads
Yep Had one of those years ago. I had a wanted ad on Eham for a power supply for a KW2000b. individual claiming he was from England replied that he had the item I was looking for with some sketchy details he said the tubes had all been tested and were good. What tubes?. I strung him along for a while asking stupid questions about non existent wood trim and other nonexistent features. Each indicated that the features I asked about were all fine. and of course each reply ended encouraging me to wire money. Finally I sent the whole lot to the fraud dept of the RCMP. They replied thanking me stating that there was already an ongoing investigation in similar matters. after some of my own investigation turned out he was in Nigeria.never heard more after that.
