Scams Part 1. US Airlines
I've been away for a while and have a number of blog entries backed up on my desk. Most are security related, and others have to do with reviews related to technology for Christmas. This entry is about a letter we received from US Airlines. This is not USAir. It says I have qualified for an award of 2 round trip tickets. Not so. Do not touch this. Do not call the 877 number! For details on the scam, see http://www.bbb.org/blog/2012/07/scammers-lure-victims-with-fake-free-plane-tickets/.

eBooks Through our local libraries
Did you know that you can check out eBooks from the Spartanburg and Greenville Library Systems? How?
For Spartanburg, the instructions are at http://digitalbooks.infodepot.org/9BF6B9EF-5E76-48C0-9B0A-1971BCED19B3/10/50/en/Default.htm. You might have to sign in first... and for that you need a Spartanburg library card. (Even though we can check out books from both the Spartanburg and Greenville systems with one card, I think it is best you have the correct card when using the respective electronic sources.
It involves downloading an app called Overdrive. On the above page, click the Help icon near the top and there is a link on the following page to download the app. Then follow the other directions to check out a book. Any questions, call 596-3502.
Who has the info on the Greenville library system? Add a comment at the bottom. Thanks.
PS. For those who are not in my area, the process will be the same. Most libraries use Overdrive and most will have a part of their web site devoted to eBooks.
