Yes, the scammers are trying new tricks.The reality is that these scammers are not very good at their trade because when you read their nonsense it has so many obvious errors that one could only conclude it was fake.

Hi Anthony, Thanks for the invite. Boy this is one I have not seen as yet. Thanks for sharing. Your friend Donna aka texgirl

Well, then they can not fool me, cause I do not drive or would not have Toyota :-) I get a lot of scams this days, mostly free creditcards, credits and loan without any question. How stupid can this scam`ers be??? Well, they are kind of smart, cause they earn a lot on people who really does`nt know about scam. Maybe if we ask Bogdan, we can put an AD on the mainpage, so ALL can get message about scams and maybe also blacklisted oppz?? Thanks for Your serious help for all of us Anthony - You are a true friend.

Howdy Neighbor! Thanks for sharing Anthony. This one I haven't seen before. I get my share of scammer emails on a daily basis. As someone else said, most are pretty obvious, especially if you're on top of things in your financial world. The scammers aren't trying to get those of us who know our situation, who we talked too, who we deal with; they're going for the uninformed, the people who want something for nothing, the desperate. It's a shame, but now a fact of life I guess. Hope you've been having a good weekend, Lorraine
