A friend of mine got that same email. If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

He knows, I talked to him by e-mail yesterday. Many people received these. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

This is not a new scam. Only the name has changed. I have seen it before with other names. | |||

My alert level went up a touch when Craig Boddington was reaching out to me from the Philippines needing money. I didn't inquire, but I'm sure a wire to his aunt in Nigeria would have quickly resolved the situation.

Brett: I got an email from you that said you needed a rifle to hunt with on your safari as yours was taken by the Zim police and that I should overnight by FEDEX my .600. Is this a scam or should I send you my .600 immediately?

Use my address Cal. The young Lad is either always at work or working on his new house and not answering the door. I'll be sure to see he gets it.

Craig has said publicly that he is now giving up on AOL. I wrote him to the effect that only geriatrics still use AOL and that it was time to have a 14-year-old set up a domain name complete with its own email address, SSL, etc. Jeez.

I got the e mail in question. This puzzles me as I have never e mailed CB in my life. I am curious how I got on this list. | |||

Larry, The way I understand it is that scammers have web crawlers, which extract email addresses from around the web. They then combine these addresses, and send scams to them. So if you are on the Internet, and have an email address, you are likely to get scammed one way or another. I follow a very simple procedure on email. First I check the sender, then I check the subject. If neither is relevant to me, they get deleted without being read. Those I read have to make sense, if not, I just ignore them. If an email has nothing in the subject, it gets deleted, no matter who it came from. | |||
