Doubting Thomas

Weekly I receive at least one email telling me of yet another way people are stealing from one another.  Just when I think I've heard them all, some crook figures out another way to separate his neighbors from their money.  I want to give you some advice today:  DOUBT EVERYTHING!  Deal only with people and businesses you know.  If it's too good to be true, it isn't.  Thieves are studying your information;  have your birthdate on your Facebook page, your children's names or can they learn your maiden name by just reading your friend's list?  Bet a thief could read enough on your facebook page or your blog to make an educated guess as to your passwords.  I just read recently where a scammer sent messages to everyone on a guy's friends list saying "Bill is really in trouble, send what you can to help".  Of course the address he gave was not Bill's and Bill was not aware until his daughter got the message.

Who's Thomas?  One of Christ's disciples.  He questioned and needed proof.  If there is a St. Thomas statue, we should have one attached to computers and telephones.
