“Dear PoPville,
This morning I got this email from [email protected] . Has anyone else got this? Is it legit or a phishing scam? Usually I would never click a random link that promises money but I do know this is a real settlement.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking to take my dog swimming this month. Thing is, as we just rescued him in the fall, this will be his first time doing so (we’ll definitely put on a lifejacket!). He’s a bit timid but definitely seems interested in the water. So… (more…)
