Getting Scam'd
8/23/2005 11:15:37 PM
Should we list all the scams that have come our way? 1. "Your P-pal a/c as been suspended...." 2. "Update your p-pal information..." 3. "Re: Your classified ad about your F-150", which actually was legit. This guy wanted to send me $20,000 for a 20 year old half-ton and I was to send him back the difference, ie. $15,000. 4. Bounced email because of it contained a virus. I did not send this email. 5. Repeating, ie. 4 & 5 consecutive blank emails from "hotmail" types addresses, with no subject or content. 6. "Update your information..." in a site where your e-bizness is listed, may be a scam. The site of the listing is legit but some low-life has phished your email address. I could go on but you get the idea. Murphy's Law still live and well.

HI Carla, Thanks for stopping in. I am also wondering if they can do this with any email account, not just Aol. I bet they can. Will have to look into this.

HI Rudy, Thanks for stopping in. :) I get all of them also.. But this email was different. It was an actual business opportunity email. That emailed them back my password! I just don't understand how you can program an email to do that. I can build a computer,I can build a website,I can do some trouble shooting, but hacking was never my game. HMMMMM Maybe I should learn LOL
