I AM THE VICTIM OF A SCAM
July20
Someone is Scotland has gotten hold of my e-mail database and is requesting money from friends.
At this moment, my e-mail facilities seem to be blocked and I cannot send out messages to the hundreds of people who are in my data base. DO NOT RESPOND TO ANY E-MAIL THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM ME BUT HAS A SUSPICIOUS ADDRESS.
The friend who notified me of this situation said he would send me a copy of the e-mail notice he got from the scammer but I am unable to receive e-mails. It is my intention to call the FBI as soon as post this message.
After 20 yrs in federal prison and only recently becoming familiar with computer tech (the web didn’t exist until after I was in prison for 3 yrs), I’ve been quite surprised at all the scams. So far, I figure I’ve inherited some $543,000,000 on-line.
Sometimes I wanta scream: Hey! Asshole! You can’t con a con!
I too have received e-mail messages from Scotland and London in the name of people I know (!) asking for emergency funds. These cockroaches are really quite ubiquitous…
