Virus alert

This is primarily for my fellow seed sellers but everyone please take notice --

Most of you have probably gotten those vague "order" emails that say they want to make a large order but the order is in an attachment instead of the email itself. I use Mailwasher so I can preview my emails, so most of the time I just assume they are phonies using a stolen credit card and blacklist and delete the emails without even downloading them.

I use AVG for my antivirus and for the last few days now, when I got 1 of these types of emails, AVG has already been warning of a virus. I forget what the first one was, but just a bit ago it was that ransomware virus.

Just be careful and do NOT open any attachments from people you don't know.
