Exclamation

I have been made aware that I am under surviellence by cookies. The reason I say this is because a grey box appears on my screen sometimes when I log onto Moroccodiscussions.com or Morocco.com The grey box has a red eye on it and the red eye also appears at the righthand bottom part of the web page. If I click the red eye it gives me the name of the cookie organization. It is when I am at the library logging on that this happens some of the time. So with this information I know that I am being monitored by more than one group of people.

I also received an email from a Ahmad, I do not remember his last name but he made me aware that I am being monitored heavily. This means that what ever I view is also being monitored too. Ahmad offered me a way to bypass this but I do not wish to use a credit card for this offer. So now I see that I am being spied on when I have not done anything wrong. I received the email from Ahmad yesterday and today when I logged onto Morocco.com, the grey box appeared again. I just thought I would pass on the information about the cookies. The grey box definitely says cookies and the email definitely was from one called Ahmad.

First of all, NEVER respond to e-mails from someone you don't know. In fact, you should delete them before you even read them.

Never use credit cards on a public computer such as in a library or internet cafe. (you were right to be cautious).

It's my understanding that most "cookies" are harmless and can actually be helpful in many cases.

Absolutely, cookies can be a necessity! Especially if you use so called secured zones, such as sites for banking etc. The url will then always start with https://

Anyway, cookies are also to spy on your behaviour as a consumer of internetsites. So your possible interests will be sold to advertisementsites.

Angelita,
I doubt the Mossad, FBI, CIA or even la DST is leaving cookies behind on your pc They have other methods to spy on you.

Neaah believe me they do that kind of surveillance in a more sophisticated way.

But you are welcome. Don't worry too much about the Patriot Act Just don't mention the word "Israel"

cookies are very commone just about every site you visit will send you one form or another. Even hotmail uses cookies!

Just think of them as nice chocolate chip cookies and you wil be ok!

To be on the safe side, install microsoft anti spyware, and make sure you regularly patch your window with the latest security hot fixes from microsoft. Dont open attachments from strangers
