It's good to keep and check in with every now and then, and be aware of, Before you become a victim. The letters you are both mentioning come under the "corruption scams", in their CIAC Catagorie Page. They stay right on top of everything . Two of the newer scams listed, in this catagorie, are the Pay-pal update scam, and the E-Bay scam. The address is : http://hoax-busters.ciac.org Definatley worth checking out for nuisance letters or other questionable chain letters. Hope this helps.

I feel quite This is no lie and I am not exaggerating. I get that one, and it's variants, several times A DAY! It is really quite aggravating as they keep changing their send from email address, making it impossible to block. I have seen several news reports about how dealing with spam is costing business several million dollars a year. I can understand why. -Walter ------------------------------------------ www.branchmeteorites.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Gwilliam" <jkg_at_theriver.com> To: "magellon" <magellon_at_earthlink.net>; "magellon" <magellon_at_earthlink.net>; <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 12:06 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] eBay Sellers list, eBay name change > List, > About six months ago, I was getting as much spam as I was getting mail from > this list.
