Quattro Stagioni Pizza was the name of the pizza my mommy blogger friends and I enjoyed at Cesar Montano’s Bellissimo Ristorante Italiano when we had dinner a few months ago. Click here to read about the fun dinner 🙂
Quattro Stagioni means Four Seasons 🙂

Phishing.
No, I didn’t misspell this word for fishing. Phishing in the online community means fraud or something criminally fraudulent or ok then, something fishy.
Phishing is an attempt to get sensitive information from people who go online and need to use user names or logins and of course, passwords. In a worse case scenario, these sites would ask for credit card details.
Most often, phishing will be in the form emails or instant messaging about a PayPal account, eBay product that has been ordered but not been paid for, online banks and even social networking sites.
This directs the recipients of the email to go to certain sites and enter the details that they ask for.
Take for example this site where a friend has invited me to join. I decided to join because I got invites from several friends but have not responded positively. Just a while ago, I went to the site to see what this all about.
Of course I did not push through with the registration. The reason? It was asking for my yahoo mail password.
My what? Yes, my yahoo mail password.
Something fishy really, if you ask me.

If I were to believe the many emails I have been getting, I should be a very, very rich person by now.
How many times I have won a European lottery when I have been to Europe only in my dreams is way beyond me.
How many times I have been bequeathed a will by strangers with so much money is mind-boggling.
How many times have my “number” been drawn and I have won lots and lots of money.
Well, if these emails are to be believed, where is my money then? Why am I still slaving away day in and day out just to help my family get by?
Fake lotteries. There are lots of them here.
I have deleted these emails as spams. Who knows, there might be worms in these. Ugh.
