Generally, I wouldn’t write about Junk Email, but today is different because what’s coming into our inboxes can cost us a fortune in our health—emotional, physical and financial.

Yesterday, I received an email that even the real Amazon would have believed. Had I not been wary, I would and could have found myself with a migraine the size of Texas and a heart attack as massive as an earthquake in spite of taking my Asea with my alkalized water. Yes, it’s true!

This fake email was the best I’d ever seen. Luckily, my gut told me to be suspicious. I kid you not, these emails looked like legitimate confirmations of orders from Amazon. Here’s what made me suspicious. Maybe it will help you. First, I hadn’t ordered anything from Amazon in the last few days or even weeks. Second, the link they wanted me to click on read townknow.com. And third, it had “Junk” in the subject line.

Because these forgery guys/hackers/spammers/phishing people are experts in deception, they are the best at adversely affecting your health. To protect yourself, start doing this. Put @Amazon.com, @BankofAmerica.com or any other fake link that looks legit on your ‘Blocked Senders’ list—both the full link and the extension, separately. Then when you get an email from the ‘real’ Amazon and the ‘real’ banking institution, you can approve them individually from your “Junk Mail” folder. This will protect you from clicking before you think because once you do, you’re in for real trouble. If you do, it’s highly probable you’ll have a permanent visitor or user hacked into your computer, able to read passwords and account names and then use them to take money and data from you.

Yep, you’ll have to review your Junk Folder before emptying it, but it’s a small effort when you compare it to the headache or stroke you might get for clicking on a link that’s an unwanted, surreptitious visitor making camp on your hard drive only to rob you of private data that can upend your life for weeks, months or even years. Identity thievery is pervasive. Scamming emails are daily occurrences. Take heed and save yourself a migraine. The stress from an empty retirement account could very well cost you a lengthy hospital stay. Stress can do it! Get some immune protection with ASEA.
