Hi Rusty and Eileen and all, I imagine you've all noticed it but for those who haven't - this Nigerian scam cr*p has morphed into an untold number of variations! They must be preparing for the Christmas season LOL... I couldn't begin to tell you how many I get in all my inboxes each day. It has to be approaching hundreds or more. They're even using "American" names and have changed the stories in numerous ways. IMHO - somewhere along the way here Yahoo! has to pay a price for not only not being able to deal with this correctly but for hosting the highest proportion of fake web sites for PayPal, EBay and every bank under the sun. BTW - I've won every lottery on the planet so many times I could personally rebuild New Orleans with all the money I should have :-( Have A Great Day! Mark

Hi Mark, I hear you on that one! If i had all the money that I have won then I would be living Large myself LOL Yeah I am not sure what is going on with Yahoo, must be an easy target. Also Did you read the forum about the New form of Scamming. All is I can say is Don't give any information out over the phone, especially that 3 digit Security code on the back of your CC. They are looking for money, by saying you have a big charge and they are from the CC Fraud department. Do Not Believe them! You Have a Great Day!

HI Des, I had not seen this site before, I always go to http://www.scambusters.org

Just to pick up on one of the comments posted. I have a 'cast in stone' rule. If I get an email with an attachment, then unless it is one I am expecting from a trusted source. 1) don't click on it 2) delete it immediately. This has kept me pretty much virus fŕee. If your email client lets you do so, set up a rule that any email with attachments gets sent to a 'junk' folder. That way you can usually delete everything in the folder and don't have to click on individual items to delete them Hope that helps Des
