This just came over on one of my lists. The writer is known to me, and is located in Southern California. All of you people with rescue groups, please pay attention to the things you get in the mail... personally, I'd look askance at a check for this amount of money, but that 800 number on the check would probably have tempted me to make a call, too.............just beware! Feel free to pass this on! Peggy > A check for $95000 was recieved by my local resque group praising them for >the great work they do with dogs and cats. They were so excited til they >tried to cash it. IT was posted from OReilly an international organziation >from china , USA, Germany, Australia and other places I cannot recall. > >There was an 800 number at the bottom and it was signed by both the husband >and wife with Gates at the last name. > >They called to thank them and got caught in an 800 number scam which was >billed to their phone number. Now they are in for a lot of money to the >phone company. > >Please be warned that this is a phone scam. > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
