we also get messages very similar to that on a regular basis on our fax machine at work. Just had a story about that scam 2 weeks ago on one of those nighttime news shows--Primetime or 20/20 or something.

and since you mentioned it--I know NOT to open mail from cathy1986. [:D]

I did too - imagine my joy & suprise to find that yet another deposed ruler from a place I have never heard of has left me money! I must be very, very popular with the international royalty set. I constantly get these things - although this is the first from a fellow new wave fan!

That's odd. cathy1986 just wanted to know if I could round up a gang of bullies to intimidate anyone who had a differing view of her plan.

In the past, I've had to do a little research into these online scams:

I don't care WHO it is. The moment somebody from online asks you for money, EVERYTHING becomes circumspect.
