They KNOW some of us are stupid. But they don't know which ones so they have try us all. But be careful Keith, they are getting more clever all the time. I got one yesterday that looked very much like an ebay "listing confirmation".

One of my brothers works at a bank in Madison, he's told me a few stories.


In one, a younger girl comes in because she was just ripped off ($2000) She always played online lotto's, and she got an email from the "british lotto system" or something like that, saying she won and she would just have to send back a check for $2000 to cover the taxes. Lets just say she got screwed out of $2000, because it was overseas and they can't do anything about it.

My brother went on to say she was balling when she walked out of his office, but he just couldn't bring himself to feel bad for her stupidity. If she were a little brighter, she should have requested they take the taxes out before they sent her the check....

Yeah, I tried to E-Mail Pay Pal..couldn't get through, finally wound up calling them and sure enough, it's a scam, they are aware of it and advised that you not open the phony E-mail and DO NOT GIVE any information !! Lots of luck, these guys are slick !! Jim

Simply FORWARD them to spoof@paypal.com, and you will get a nice machine-generated reply, telling you what you already know, that they're fake, and that they are investigating.

(If the email appears to be from ebay, forward it to spoof@ebay.com, for the same courteous reply!)

I read about a year ago that overall, ebay, banks, credit card companys and the like, that about 3% of the people fall for it.

If they send out a few thousand, I am sure they will have some takers. I think most of this stuff comes form overseas. Be careful, a lot of bad guys out there trying to get your hard earned money. Stan
