Saint Valentine's Day (commonly shortened to Valentine's Day)[1][2][3] is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.[1][3] The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. - wikipedia

AVOID Email Scams
How do you know?
Recently, a client forwarded us a message that sounded pretty good but yet too good to be true. Her question was "Is this a scam?"
Our response: Usually if you have to ask, it is a scam.
If there are strange characters, page breaks, indentations and other incorrect or choppy english, it is usally a scam.
Here is an article about this particular scam our client received:
http://www.seony.com/20090922-marc-schneider-phd-spam-under-www-mplw-net/
Another good way to test if something is a scam is just to type the URL, EMAIL and SCAM into Google and see what shows up. For this one we searched for "mplw" and "scam". And got our answer.
Some helpful articles about avoiding email scams:
1. How to recognize a phishing scam email
2. How Not to Get Hooked by a ‘Phishing’ Scam
3. How to Avoid Email Scams to Prevent Identity Theft
