has anyone ever gotten a e-mail like this?? i didn't fill it out..

[Katie]

this is like another one of the prank letters or like the one with the gas pump i got like 2 months ago about needles in the handles...

[CAL]

I haven't gotten one but I've heard about those things.

Just delete it. Pure garbage.

[JohnR]

Complete and utter garbage. If you reply, you'll likely be stuck on additional lists too...

Just delete it...

[Mr. Sandman]

Let me know how it works out...

If it sounds to good to be true.....walk away.

[mrmacey]

http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp scares them right into canceling there e-mail!!! Lol.

[Jonny Bolt]

Scam. These are similar to the ones I got when I was selling my car over the net. I would get replies from people in Europe or Africa saying they wanted to buy my car, and would send a check for cost PLUS 5K, and they ask that you send the 5K back to them. Well the check is a fake, and you cash it, then send them the 5K, they never pick up the car, and you get bagged for passing bad checks. So they make 5 grande off poor suckers. It was on 20/20 or something last Fall or the beginning of the winter.

[schoolie monster]

Katie, at some point in the process they will need a few thousand or a few hundred bucks to complete some paperwork or to release the funds from the bank. Or they may need your bank account and ss# to complete the transfer.

It is a common scam.

Their are some good websites out there that track all the scams and urban legends (such as, Bill Gates has agreed to give everyone who sends this email $1000 for each person they send it to or Disney is giving away free trips to everyone who passes on this message).

But as was said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Not sure if this might be offensive to anyone, but I thought it was funny as hell.

Here is some good old American folk giving those Nigerian scammers a run for there money. They make the scammers do all sorts of crazy stuff in order to verify there identity and such.

When I checked this site out last time, I almost wet myself

Again, this site might be offensive to some, but it is so funny I must share

[S-Journey]

Sorry, one more thing....

If you are someone that could posibly be offened----
DONT CLICK ON THE LINK

[Katie]

thats wicked funny...lol...where did you find that??? lol..

NilsC-- heres the thing that gives it away.. when does a bank ever really ask for a updated info?? I have never heard of it? and why would they e-mail ya instead of askin you when you went to the bank?? lol..

[NilsC]

Katie,
I see it all here at work. We get all kinds of scams every day. Including viruses the claim to be updates to the virus definitions from symantec and McAffe.

Email with claims that everything from phone to your car will be shut of or impounded unless you pay them some amount they claim you owe them.

I have received a invoice for items the sender claims I bought but did not pay for.

lotsa fun stuff on the net.

Nils
