E-mail scams have no relation to porn sites. When you surf thru porn sites, you really need an industrial grade pop-up blocker or you will have a zillion explorer pages to close. Somebody told me that is what happens ... I would not know because I'm a member of the Good Boys Club.

Oh my God, my nose is growing longer ....

Warren,

I notice that your E-Mail address to contact Yahoo is in Britain. Why not do it here? And as Steve said, stay off the porn sites. They are a great place to pick up viruses.

Holy Cow! I'm so rich, even Pay Pal wants my money. The only problem is that I do NOT have a PayPal account and do not have a web site! I'm sure that if I clicked on the Resolution Center link provided in the e-mail that they would want my social security #. The e-mail has very nice graphics too!

Just got this one today .....

Warren,

You are a magnet for scams. Now I don't want any of your information, but for just $1 million I will sell you the rights to the $10 million Sun Dial Bridge in Redding. Of course you would have to come put your name on it.

Warren,
They say that once you have been gotten to they crooks share your name with all their buddies so they can have their way with you as well.

So either you have been "had" before or someone does not like you at all.

You get more of these than anyone I know. I used to get them everyday but the filters and email firewalls keep them out now. Of course I use a yahoo email address and the blocked email list is 500 names long

Never been scammed before ... never had my identity stolen. As far as someone that does not like me ... I can only surmise that its because of that trollop Frenchy or the nefarious Mt Shasta Goddess.

Warren,

It must be Frenchy. The Mt. Shasta Goddess likes you. She has promised record snow and cold for your area this Winter so she can keep ours normal.

Global warming? Its 39°F outside at 7 AM.

Good morning to all of you. I need a cup of coffee to warm up!

Great picture on TV this morning ... OJ in handcuffs. Throw away the keys!

Ron61 · #11 (**permalink**) 09-17-2007, 04:33 AM

Warren,

You don't actually think they may do something to O.J. do you? Remember they had him in handcuffs out here and on a Murder charge and did nothing. He will buy his way out of this minor mess as usual.

Ron,
When I was in the banking business we tried something similar to that. The spam was going to the Bank CEO and it was many times everyday.

He got the Feds involved and they set up a sting. They actually took over the email responses so we do not know what they said. The Kids were 13 and 14 years old from Korea. They told the Feds it was only the second time they had been caught in six years.

Do the math on how old they were when they started.

Ron61 · #13 (**permalink**) 09-20-2007, 07:38 AM

Steve,

It seems more and more of that stuff is coming from Korea now. I used to trace a lot of it and was surprised at how many originated over there. Oh well, I guess they need the money. They have arrived in the present for sure. When I was last there, an Ox and cart were the main means of transportation except right in Seoul.

Mmmm now how I see how you fund your retirement...

Bernie,

It works great and there is no tax problems. The people that get taken for small amounts don't want to admit they were that gullible and so they won't report it.

Warren,

You are famous. I saw a TV commercial last night with this so called wealthy foreign former Govt. person who had millions he wanted to get into the United States and he was giving a cashiers check for $1 million to a guy in return for so much cash to help him get started transferring the rest of his millions. Now I know why you have decided to take a vacation.
