Very interesting. I haven't used the "atlas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" email address
in a long while -- a couple or three or five years? How did they dig that
one up? And why? It does look like a hack job -- but where's the pay off?
Last Saturday I had to take my computer to the hospital to have a virus
extracted. It had nothing to do with this problem. A virus had completely
taken over my computer. It announced itself with a red screen and yellow
text telling me that my computer had been kidnapped and that if I wanted it
back that I needed to call a certain phone number and they would tell me
how I could get my my computer back. Yeah, right, I'll call them right
away. Next year. Try as I may, I couldn't make the red screen and yellow
text go away, so I took my computer my usual repair shop and they got rid
of it -- for $168. I'm thinking now that maybe the computer nerd who fixed
it had sent the virus knowing that I know nothing about computers and was
an easy target. Or maybe it was a desperate cry for help from some poor
soul lost in the morass of messaging and twitting and talk-talk -- maybe it
was just a human being desperate to hear the voice of a sane human being
telling him not to despair that this country has not lost direction so
hopelessly that Trump could ever possibly win. A good soul just wanting a
little reassurance, that's all. Maybe.

This is a sample of what I referred earlier. The first time I got one of
these I clicked on the web site, but it was just an add for something.
I've been assuming that Mike's address book has been hijacked, but maybe he
needs to make a little extra money while working on his novel.
