Something else that seems strange here is there are several first-time-posters in this thread with very similar spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes as the scam emails.
Just seems odd. Here is a very funny phishbaiting site - very funny stuff: http://www.419eater.com/index.htm Last edited by Double H; 01-31-2008 at 11:27 AM. Reason: added link |

Tell them you'll agree to their terms but you won't send any money until the check clears. You won't hear from them again...
