Well Mr John --- A big F-you ...... from our family to yours!

 

Do they have a school where they teach this crap or what?

 

Guys,

A lot of these scams exist for one purpose, to get your bank account number. Then, with a little more info, they can drain your account. I suppose, if they just had your bank account number, then they could not get your money out. But, with a little more information, they can steel your identity and then your money.

Mark, forward his info on to the fbi and tell them that in another message he referenced terroism. Get the feds on his azz and then maybe he will learn a lesson.

 

Already done.

 

Trust me you do not want to know, I probably shgould not have brought it up.

Major, my trip has been postponed till the 9th of October. We'll have to get together then. Long story

 

thanks Demon- see ya then!

 

Man, the scammers never quit. I got an email this morning posing as ebay asking for my user name, password, social security number, credit card info, pin numbers, jesus do these guys think I am an idiot.

It is like here take all my info and go have fun.

What losers. I reported it to ebay who promptly replied and verified that indeed it was not ebay asking for my info.

I replied to the email address in a very unkind way. Hope I run into these losers.

Watch your back guys
