🚨Beware of E‑Signature Phishing Emails🚨
The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning about a new phishing scam that impersonates trusted e‑signature services such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign.
Victims receive emails claiming a document needs their immediate signature, but clicking the link leads to fake forms that steal personal information or install malware.
These scams often use urgent language like “sign now” or “your document is expiring.”
Some even target businesses with fake invoices or payment requests.
How to stay safe:
- Never click unexpected e‑signature links.
- Confirm directly with the sender before signing anything.
- Check for grammar mistakes, blurry logos, or odd phrasing.
- Report suspicious emails to BBB Scam Tracker at bbb.org/scamtracker
If your doctor, bank, or employer truly needs your signature, they’ll contact you first, not through a random email.

- Farewell to Ask.com. The End of an Era in Search
After 25 years of answering the world’s questions, Ask.com officially closed on May 1, 2026, marking the end of one of the internet’s earliest and most recognizable search engines.
Parent company IAC announced the decision as part of its shift away from search operations to focus on other digital ventures.
Ask.com began in 1996 as Ask Jeeves, the friendly butler-themed search engine that invited users to type questions in plain English.
It helped define the early web’s promise: that technology could feel human, conversational, and helpful.
While the site is gone, Jeeves’ spirit endures, in every AI assistant and search tool that still aims to understand what you mean, not just what you type.
