The end of bogus claim/message

Please note:The message was addressed to me personally, looking legit but the MAC Spammer caught it, thankfully. It's a bogus claim of dead "relatives", etc. We've had an uptick in hits for far-away places,where none of our classmates live, that seem to be looking for any way to improve their personal economy. Please note, or make sure that your Spam catchers/filters are functioning.
Thanks and have a great week!
Have FUN anyway!

This is a common type of spam that has been circulating for years.

Almost daily we are receiving these type emails. I would think that we all know that no one will give us money from foreign countries.

Yes, it's an old game, but in the past we have passed on the ISP's to CC to let them know to block them if they can. This is from someone who found our CC site,sent through the contact option, not my personal e-mails,etc.
Although it seems no one is gullible enough to fall for it, our CC site has generated many with "bad juju" in the past that has not been so much fun. Most of the SPAM comes to the admins, just another reminder to be aware of posting personal emails and contacts on unprotected pages.
Sorry,I'm slow, but I eventually get it most of the time! (Although I must admit the viagra ads and "enlargement" options are getting more comical with time! Gotta love tenacity and "creativity"! ohwell...what do i know anyway? Old urology/OR nurses have a tainted sense of humor...!As Gilda Radner reminded us, "It's always something..."!)
Thanks anyway!

Glad you clarified the destination email as coming through our class site. You did? Didn't you? Biblically stated, "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived." Our guard must be up. I had a brother-in-law who was taken by one of the scams a few years back. He never regained any of the money. The money was itself not he's to begin with. He was dis-included via divorce recently by my wife's sister.

Many, many of these solicitations are coming out of Nigeria. How anyone can fall for them is beyond my ability to comprehend. I just received one about five minutes ago, tho not through CC. That said, as a retired U.S. Immigration Special Agent I can tell you if a Nigerian's mouth is moving, he's lying. Take that any way you want to, it's the truth from 25 years experience, almost without exception.

Thanks but "independent". Nah!
