Shields Up and Flame Wars

Just coincidence, of course, but since the spar wars started
I have sure had some amazing luck!

I've won a dozen multi-megabuck lotteries, been named sole
beneficiary of several unknown dead guys, and seems like
the national bank of africa just won't be able to stand if I
don't help them recover a few million more bucks.

Heck, even BMW wants to send me money!

FWIW, this is exactly what happened just before my flashnet account
was assassinated a few years back.

Somehow, one of them got thru and did me in big time.

That account had an 11 meg inbox - which was being filed up in less
than 45 minutes - every day.

Oh what fun...

Not at all, Fred.
What else would you call it?

I though maybe you meant 'spam' wars.

No, although there is that aspect...

The "other" term was recently coined by another gentleman here,
but I didn't attribute it to him because he probably wouldn't want
to get drawn that close to the fire.

Gust guessing there...

Right now, I'm providing customer service for an internet-auction
payment company. Wanna guess how many of these things I see every day?

By the way, nobody in London will ever sell a vehicle back to someone
in the US just because the steering wheel is on the wrong side...
especially if its a '69 Charger Hemi listed on Ebay for $7,000. Oh yea,
this scam has also been everything from a Toyota Corolla to a John
Deere tractor. (What's a tractor doing in London?)

And don't even get me started about the Nigerians...

There was a piece on the local news the other day about some woman who
replied to one of those. Actually got a $5000 check in the mail!

A little disappointed when she tried to cash it, though.
