THIS MESSAGE IS ONLY AN ATTEMPT OF FRAUD: DELETE THE MESSAGE. DO NOT RESPOND TO SIMILAR MESSAGES, EVEN IF THEY OFFER GOLD FROM HEAVEN!

Solan-Yes,good advise. I`ve recvd many such e-mails. The con game is still alive. If only these people would use the same amount of effort and apply it to something worthwhile and legitimate they would be wealthy.

hoppy

Hard to imagine folks would give out that type of info, in answer to an email, but they do.

We have examples here in Norway of people also scammed by what we call "Nigerian letters". One man paid near to USD 2.000.000!!
before he finally realized he was scammed by "a lady" and her companions. She even made him want to marry her in Nigeria before the game was over!

So be aware! Don't give away any personal information about your bank cards. I hope VCCA stops asking for any such information each month from 2012. It is a real hazard to send such complete information through the post!!!
