I recon that's the trick. Nail them as they join. Won't stop them, but will reduce them- hopefully.

I don't even know what that means... Anyone?

[Kevnlis]

I heard they nailed some top people with that scam. Banks and such even.

All of the e-mails I recieved were very obviously scam letters. Not sure how anyone could fall for it. But they ask you to advance money to cover the costs of collecting something that is owed to them for whatever reason. Thats what the ones I got were. Or I had some where it said the money was owed to me, but to collect it I must pay for whatever, etc.

The black paper scam looks much more fun

The latest scammer to hit my inbox is Liliya from Russia who informs me she wants to marry me and have big family. The fact she`s never seen or heard of me before doesn`t matter, of course. Liliya also insists she is"very shy and demure girl from farm" and promptly attaches photo of herself with the norks hanging out !
