Hi all,
    Apologies for a non-meteorite post, BUT, I do think this is efecting
everyone....
    I don't know about y'all, but I keep getting an INCREASING number of
solicitations from nit wits from other countries with a story along the
lines of:
        " I am the widow of the former ruler of Timbuktoo and I have
27 million dollars I have to get out of this country without being detected
by the terrible oppressors who killed my saintly hustband. I heard you are
an honest person, so, I want to send it all into your account and give you
15% for the favor"
        It always goes on and on.
        This wasn't so bad two or three times a year, but it is now up to 5
or 6 times a week.
        IS THERE A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY TO WHICH I CAN REPORT EACH
TURKEY THAT DOES THIS?
        If so, PLEASE tell me the email address to foreword these absurd
scam artists who pray on the truly lame brained.
        Sorry for the non-meteorite post, but I bet everyone on this list
would LOVE the opportunity to do more than just hit "delete" when
this crapolla comes to us nearly every day.
        Thanks, Michael
