Good for you John! I get so sick of those! "Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it."

Over the last few days I have received some of 'those emails', claiming to involve large bequests or similar funds. By this time I was getting tired of seeing them. It was time to up the ante, so I did an internet search for the company and the sender named. After a few minutes the search engine found the company web site. I used their feedback form to inquire after the 'name of the sender. Not surprisingly, the woman named didn't work there at all. Case closed! So if you need a way to expose these fraudsters and avoid loss, why not take time to check up on the sender before getting involved in the nebulous world of funny money created by 'bistro math' by those who want YOUR money?
