We want to remind users that Semo.net’s Support department will never email you asking for your username and password, or asking you to download a file to update settings. We’ve seen another incident of a scammer trying to steal users’ accounts by emailing them claiming to be Semo.net Support. If you receive such an email, do not reply to it or any address contained within, and do not click any links asking you to update or verify settings. Please simply delete the email.
We have blocked all email going to the address specified in the spam so if someone does send their information it should not make it to the sender. We have also contacted the originating ISP about the spam and they have identified the sender and turned off that account.
If you’re ever in doubt about if an email came from us, please do not hesitate to call our office.
Missouri Senator, Claire McCaskill, is hosting a town hall meeting to hear the input of her constituents on the health care “reform” debate that is currently raging across America. The free and public event will be held on Monday, August 10 at 2:30 PM at the Rutland Library on Three Rivers Community College Campus. (2080 Three Rivers Blvd. in Poplar Bluff). UPDATE: According to TRCC, the event will be at the Tinnin Fine Art Center, not the Library. (Thanks, Eleisha!)
You can contact the Senator by calling her Columbia Office at 573-442-7130 or emailing her through her web site with any questions or to make your voice heard on this crucial issue.
There are many websites to get up to speed on the topic of “health care reform” to equip you further in clarifying your opinion between now and then. I strongly urge you to take the time to attend this town hall meeting with Senator McCaskill and respectfully state your concerns or register your support before the Senate reconvenes in the fall.
To RSVP your attendance, please contact: http://www.mccaskill.senate.gov/poplarbluff081009/
