Shorty after President Obama finished his speech about healthcare earlier tonight, our reader Roy received an email advising him to sign up for a "Low Income Healthcare Enrollment". If you see something similar, let us know. The possibilities for phishing, malware and other scams are endless with current events like this.

As usual, you will not receive an e-mail from a government agency asking you to divulge your private information on a random website.
