Any email you receive which contains a request for credit card numbers, PIN
numbers, account numbers, etc. should be considered fraudulent and forwarded
on to the fraud department of the entity they are supposedly from.

There is a lot of fraudulent email requesting personal information.
This is a pure scam! Never, ever, respond to this type of fraudulent
email message, no matter how authentic it may appear!

Sure, you can report it. You can also spit into the Grand Canyon. Neither
accomplishes much.

Obviously fake. If you have doubts, ring up your bank and ask. They will
tell you what I have told you, that it is fake.

I believe Randy was posting this as a warning, not asking if it was a scam.

Well if you spit into the wind, you can accomplish the feat of spitting
on one's self.

scam.

For those of you that don't understand and/or comprehend effin' English:

"Ich glaube, daß Randy dieses als Warnung bekanntgab und nicht fragte,
ob es ein scam war."

"Creo que Randy fijaba esto como advertencia, no preguntando si era un
scam."

"Je crois que Randy signalait ceci comme avertissement, ne demandant pas
si c'était un scam."

"Credo che Randy stesse inviando questo come avvertimento, non chiedente
se fosse uno scam."

"Eu acredito que Randy afixava este como um aviso, não perguntando se
for um scam."

Good call Mike.

You don't need plane tickets to spit into the wind. You do have wind where
you live don't you. I personally know that you are full of wind, so there
shouldn't be a problem.

"You can also spit into the Grand Canyon." Wouldn't be a proper test unless
it was conducted at the Canyon. The up-draft might just sail my spittle wad
over my head, so the only way to prove it conclusively would be at the
Canyon itself. So let me know when you got my ticket set up. PBI is closer
for me to depart from, but FLL would do just fine. ;-)

No mention of a canyon in your reply. Sounds like a different test than I
proposed. Since it's your test, you should try it.

Since it was *your* statement, "You can also spit into the Grand Canyon,"
that I was replying to, the Canyon was implied in my response to your
statement. Or do you tend to forget everything you have said, once somebody
responds to it. You know, they do have tests for Alzheimer's these days,
and if you do suffer from short term memory loss, you should really see a
doctor about it.

There was a pretty stiff wind here in Florida today, and I can state for a
fact that I spat into the wind on numerous occasions today, and not once did
I spit on myself, so it's either come up with the ticket, or live in doubt.
The choice is yours.
