Note: The basic content of the above letter was taken from an actual spam message I received. It didn’t have to be significantly modified to describe a real scam that we’ve fallen victim to once before and will again if we don’t wise up.
Aw, did you have to omit the email address? This one looks legit.
That’s why I had to leave it out. Someone out there (probably a Tea Party congressman) was bound to send them another $700B. Heck, it ain’t their money!
