Heh ?????; didn't know you 've moved recently ;)
The U. S Government doesn't send email notices. Are you sure it's not
like the one Medusa got from Africa or wherever?
I think Denise was being slightly sarcastic, indicating that she KNOWS it is spam. ;)
That's funny!
Make sure to reply to the e-mail with your bank account number!
:p
Don't forget your debit card and PIN numbers too, in case they can't get to the bank right away ;)Quote:

I can't believe you are all that naive!
Do not send you bank number and pin....
IT'S your Social Security Number and date of birth and mother's maiden name so they can be sure!
I really hope you don't think I'm that naive... I was being sarcastic right along with everyone else. Anyone who does give out personal information via email is a downright fool!Quote:

Hopefully then people aren't confused and will remove the [ and ]. I never ever give out my personal email where it will be displayed publically on sites. And if I need to sign up for a website and am worried about getting spammed I have a second email address that I have access to that can get all the spam it wants ;)
There are "spiders" that "crawl" the web looking for email addresses and "harvests" them and then spam them, so the less your email is displayed publically, the less chance of it being "harvested".
Thanks Jessika - the trouble is that I need to give my email address for readings so I guess that's how it gets picked up :rolleyes:
Gmail has the best spam blocker of anyone in the business of online email, but still 3 out of 4 of messages i get are spam :rolleyes:.
