The Following is an example of an email received from one of our customers.  Please Read!

Here's another example of what people fall for.  This customer DID try to open this email but her antivirus program (thankfully!!!!) caught the virus before it infected her computer.  We will ALWAYS sign our name to an email that we send to them.  It won't be from something like "The Accima Support Team".  The one exception to that rule would be when customers get email from postini, but it's all clearly marked.

I'm sorry - I was unable to get into the attached document. I got the following message:
"Viruses found in the attached files."
How much do I owe? I will call Odessa and give them my debit card number.
