Scammers use every opportunity to try to take advantage of you, including stories about beloved celebrities. For example, the recent death of Kobe Bryant has many fans reeling … and vulnerable. You might see pointers to stories about stars with descriptions containing words like, “unbelievable,” “shocking,” or “sensational.” This is known as “clickbait.”
If you see this kind of language in an email, stop and think before clicking the associated link. You should never click links in email without knowing the sender and without knowing where the link will take you. Doing so can result in malware being installed on your computer or being taken to a site where personal information is requested. The same is true if you see such pointers in social media. Even if these descriptions look like they’re generated by friends, don’t take the (click)bait! |

Question: The great “Reply” versus “Reply All” debate has been going on since email started. The reason it’s an issue is that people in group messages get annoyed when they receive unnecessary replies in their inbox.
Consider the following scenario: Your boss sends a message to her entire team asking for updates on a particular project. Your boss is really the only person who needs to know the answer, so in this case you should use “Reply,” not “Reply All.” If you use “Reply All,” everyone who received the original message will get your response when they don’t really need it. The basic rule is to use “Reply All” only when your reply truly needs to be seen by the original sender and all people in the “To” and “Cc” fields. So, “Reply All” is appropriate for a group email discussion about a work project that directly involves every recipient in the group. If only some of the recipients of the original message need your response, use “Reply” to reply to the original sender and then manually add the other necessary email addresses in the “To” field. Remember, managing everyday email and spam is hard enough. Don’t add to people’s irritation by using “Reply All” when “Reply” will do. |
