I'm just trying to find a cheap way to get one or more of the $5000 cashiers checks to hang on my wall, without giving them any personal info. Any ideas ? Signed, I.P. Freely, Harvey Wallbanger, Ivan Ben Bushed, etc.  | ||

It's interesting that they weren't so bold as to ask for your SSN or bank account number, yet. If you give them the initial info they ask for, they'll ask for the more personal stuff. Don't respond to the e-mail because you could end up with a worm. I wrote back to one of these scammers a couple of years ago, claiming I was an FBI agent and they were under investigation. My ISP detected a worm and stopped all of my outgoing e-mail. I had to call them and ensure them that I ran a virus scan on my computer and they removed the e-mail block. I wonder if they got the message, though...LOL |
