Tech Tip Tuesday:
Here is a quick way to use an email to create a calendar event in the Outlook app.

1. Click on the email you want to convert to an Outlook calendar appointment.
2. Holding down the left mouse key, drag the email to your Calendar folder and drop it.
3. The new calendar appointment dialog will appear with the email subject in the appointment Subject line. Edit the appointment with information as needed including invitee(s) etc.
4. Once you have the appointment information set the way you want, click the Save and Close button

This only works in the Outlook app but there is a similar function in the web-based version by activating the My Day feature and dragging emails into your calendar or adding them as a task.

I hope this finds you all safe. Please be aware that scammers are working overtime. This email arrived in my mailbox today. It is NOT from Amazon. A good rule of thumb, any email/message that arrives like this, do NOT use the link included in the message. If you feel the need to contact the organization being represented, do so using other means. Look up the phone number, email address, or website from a statement.

The scammers are working overtime these days!
Here is another type of notice to be aware of. If in doubt, always verify directly with the entity that is being represented without clicking the link. Example: if it appears to be from your bank, check an old statement and call using a number there. If in doubt, don't click!

If you would like me to look at anything with you, don't hesitate to contact me.
