A tech blog would be intimidating. And we see most of the same garbage ourselves, but know how to spot the scams. (Better)

I got an email claiming to be AAA, but it was sent from qkzvuns@cox.net instead. Helps that I ran email servers for years, but I don't expect most other people to understand how to fish out that info.

Just ask when in doubt.
