Just received an email, purporting to come from BT Yahoo, saying there will be no more upgrades to their present browser and inviting us to connect to a "new" BT Yahoo browser.

 

We are asked to uninstall our present browser, and then download an updated one by clicking on a link given in the email.

 

1. It seems a large act of faith we are being asked to undertake.

 

 

2. If present browser is uninstalled, how do we connect to internet to download the new one?

 

 

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but it seems a bit fishy to me.

 

Anyone have any thoughts ?

Yes, the same one you do!!! It STINKS! :P I'd give it a wide berth myself Vagabond!

 

Incidentally have you tried clicking on the actual link?? Send it to me and I will as I don't have Yahoo and I'll see if I can find out where it ends up?

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))
