at least they are not running you down in the driveway anymore :)
 
it would be tragic if you were to loose your email account.
 
My users will fall for this.  I will have to send a warning which is guaranteed 
to get me a ton of calls.

Too bad they can't spell. The word writting tipped me right off.  I've recently 
got the same type of scams for Ebay, Paypal, Citibank, AOL and Bank of America. 
 They must think I am a sucker or something.
