    Fraudulent Email Warning from the FBI

    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    Just because the cat who wrote it for the web site can't spell doesn't make the message any less important.

    Here's a thought. When people get a strange e-mail, how about calling your bank, credit card company, etc.? I just still can't believe people are falling for these scams.....but they must be as they keep on a coming!

    Sorry, I just expect the FBI to spell check their documents. Many of the phishers send out emails with major typos in them. If you're going to the trouble of trying to duplicate someone's website, it really hurts any credibility when they spell the name of the company wrong (if I got a dime for every one of these I've seen, I would be able to afford a suite on my next cruise).

    Oops, the FBI didn't write this. But my point still remains that if you're writing a serious warning, typos will detract from the credibility. It's one thing to have mistakes in forums (goodness knows, I have typos all the time), but...
