Recently there have been a series of email messages circulating on the Internet which LOOK very official claiming to be from Citibank, SunTrust Bank, Smith Barney and others. They even contain the company logos of your bank or investment firm. These emails are HOAXES !!! Each of these messages ask that you visit the company's web site to verify your banking and customer information and give you a link to use. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK. Do not respond to these messages in any way. They are HOAXES perpetrated by identity thieves looking for information about your financial accounts. None of these institutions will ever contact you in this manner to verify information. If you have been duped by one of these messages, you should contact the institution and your local police department or the local FBI field office in your area and notify them of the possibility that you have supplied information to a possible identity thief and ask for their assistance in helping you to minimize damage to your assets and credit ratings. This is a very serious threat to all of us and you needed to be aware of these fraudulent emails. Again, DO NOT CLICK on the links supplied with these messages. Delete them from your computer without delay. If you have responded, save the messages for the authorities. They will need them to investigate your situation. Be Safe. Be smart.

Just a short note about Fund Raising... It was noticed that WP-Org (the West-Point Alumni Organization) is again raising money for the support of their group. This is their 16th Semi-Annual Fundraiser and this time they are asking for $113,077 for the next six months. Last time it was $108,900 for six months or over $221,000 annually. PLEASE NOTE... WP.Org and the over 300 Army mailing lists it supports, are NOT part of USNA-Net !!! We do NOT receive any of the money they raise for West Point Alumni and Parents. We run USNA-Net's Annual Fund Raiser in September of each year and raise our entire ANNUAL budget of about $8,600 in about a week thanks to our many generous members. As we promised, we will NOT be asking for funding for our lists again until next September. All of USNA-Net's web sites and mailing lists... USNA-Net, USNA-Family, USNA-Plebe, USNA-Prayer, USNA-Info, USNA-Weather and SWORD are totally supported and funded through that ONE Annual Fund Raiser and we are NOT asking for money at this time. By sending out this little reminder, we hope to avoid confusion for those members who may have heard about the WP-Org fund drive and were wondering. This is WP.Org's Semi-Annual effort by West Point Alumni to raise money for the support of their 28,000+ West Point Alumni and Parent members. Please know that USNA-Net is fully funded for the coming year and does not need any additional monies. Thank you all again for your generous support and many, many donations last September. If you missed your opportunity to donate at that time, we ask that you wait until next September when we will again be raising funds for next year. We are proud to be totally self-supporting and the ONLY Naval Academy Web Site and Support Group funded entirely by Parents of Midshipmen and Sponsors.

Well, it happened again this morning. Just after 0800 EDT, my inbox jumped to life with more incoming messages and just as it has for weeks, maybe months, I received my morning dose of virus laden email from one of you. Every day, you turn on your computer and it begins firing off copies of its infection to everyone in your address book. It sent itself to EVERYONE in your address book including our Family, Plebe and Prayer lists. It's a smart little virus that FORGES the return address on these emails so we can't tell where they are coming from. And of course, our server is smart enough to not publish them but they come, none the less. And quite frankly, it's getting a bit tedious. I get a copy of everything that the server rejects. So, I get all of your little virus's transmissions that are addressed either to our service or me, personally. Now, mind you... I wouldn't normally be upset that your virus infection loves me so much that it feels it must say Good Morning to me everyday but it's been weeks and the stupid computer is still doing it's thing. EVERY DAY! And it wouldn't be so bad if it was just YOUR computer. But as far as I can figure out, it's about 6 of you that are infected as we speak. At least one of you is on a broadband (DSL or Cable) connection that runs all day at very high speed. A few others are on slower, dial up connections and send out your copies of the infection at all hours of the day and evening. I even get a few after I've gone to bed here on the East Coast while it is still playing "Whose computer can I mess up tonight?" well after 9:00 PM Pacific time. (Midnight Eastern). PLEASE... Stop with the "head in the sand" attitude and the "It can't be me!" bull. It is you! You (or someone else who uses your computer) opened an infected email attachment and got infected. All it takes is once. Maybe it was one of your kids or a grandchild or your spouse but someone did it and you're computer has been spewing out infected emails ever since. Not just one or two, but thousands per hour for as long as it's turned on, every time it's turned on, for weeks. It's not like it costs you anything to fix the problem. You can get free AntiVirus software (that never costs anything to update) at... http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ We've had this link in our Site Index for over two years. Just visit the above site and scroll down to the bottom of the page and download the free version. You don't need the paid Professional version for your home computer. It's free for personal, non-business use. It will find and remove your infections for you and keep you safe from future infections as well. What more do you want? Or is it that you enjoy causing hundreds of your friends to silently curse you every time you turn on your computer? Personally, if I knew who you were... Well, let's just say that stakes, ropes, desert sand dunes, a jar of honey and a million sand fleas comes to mind. Oh yeah. Don't forget... the hot sun baking you to a mild "well done" while were at it. All kidding aside. We have at least 6 members (out of 3,400) who are currently infected with one or more computer viruses and it's only a matter of time before the virus fills your hard drive, corrupts your system and costs you hundreds of dollars in replacement costs for a new machine. And let's not forget that when it kills your computer, it will kill all the data you have in it right now. All those personal messages, addresses, photos... EVERYTHING will be lost forever. Do something about it today. I don't want to have to use my jar of honey on you. I was hoping to use that on someone really worthy, like... Oh. This is a public forum and I really shouldn't say that out loud. :>) Fix your problem. PLEASE???

Well folks, it was a great idea! It had the best of intentions! But it looks as though it has come to an end. NO MORE THROWING CANDY TO THE MIDS AS THEY MARCH TO THE STADIUM ! While it is only an "Official Request" from the Annapolis Mayor, I suspect that it may become a ticketable misdemeanor if simply asking us to stop isn't enough. Don't say we didn't warn our members. I have been at all of the home games and lately, the mess left behind the March Over is really MUCH more of a problem than the following article describes. I've personally seen what looks like thousands of individual pieces of candy and their paper/foil wrappers flattened along the parade route for blocks leading up to the stadium. Candy which is not caught by the Mids is subsequently ground into the pavement all along the parade route by Mids marching in lock step and the vehicles which drive on the roads afterwards and has to be scraped off the streets, ONE PIECE AT A TIME. It is a real waste of treats and could easily become a health hazard with birds and other "vermin" out there looking to chow down on the fresh "Road Kill." Not to mention the wasted time and tax-payer dollars needed for the clean up. Let's all do our part and save the treats for later... to pass out to Mids in person at Company tailgates or to squadmates/companymates during or following the game. It's not that we want to stop giving treats to the Mids. It's that we have to find a better, less wasteful, way to give it to them. Below is the original article published in the Capital Newspaper and sent to us by Navy Sports Information. Let's all be good Annapolis neighbors and stop contributing to the litter problem at the Football Games. Thanks for your cooperation. Mike Zets Westlake, OH mzets@USNA-Net.org Moderator - USNA-Net Listservers SysOp - www.USNA-Net.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Navy Sports Information" To: "Navy Sports Info for Midshipmen" Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 8:40 AM Subject: Throwing Candy At Mids Too Much Sticky Business (Annapolis Capital)--Sent 10/23 Throwing candy at mids too much sticky business Who knew you could put out a mid's eye with a piece of candy? That's the worry of Mayor Ellen O. Moyer, who yesterday asked people to stop the tradition of tossing treats at the Brigade of Midshipmen as it marches to football games. "We would appreciate having alternative expressions of appreciation - cheering comes to mind," said spokesman Jan Hardesty. Ms. Moyer, a fan of the Midshipmen, worries someone's "Blue Angel aspiration" is going to end "with a Tootsie Roll across the cornea," Ms. Hardesty said. Also, there's the gooey mess left behind. "The mids have pretty good reflexes, but they can't catch it all and you wouldn't believe what those Hershey Kisses look like after a few thousand feet have stomped them into Taylor Avenue," according to Ms. Hardesty. Today's march to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for the game against Rice University will go down Route 450 and Taylor Avenue and across Rowe Boulevard, which are state roads. But regardless of who's responsible for cleaning up the mess, it remains a concern. Cmdr. Rod Gibbons, an academy spokesman, said the Brigade of Midshipmen "appreciates the wonderful spirit and generous support of our community," but agreed tossing candy "creates safety concerns for our midshipmen and a litter problem for the city." He said some mids would carry garbage bags today and police the streets behind the brigade. Published October 23, 2004, The Capital, Annapolis, Md.
