Well... maybe not...

Do people really fall for this garbage?

ATTENTION:

Several Companies have been competing for your mortgage
refinance application over the past 2 weeks.

The company that offered the lowest rate, and largest
loan quantity has requested your information be verified.

Not that many... "quality" before quantity.

There are a lot of scams that you learn about in forums such as this. As hard as it is to believe, there ARE people my age who have never owned or used a computer, who get online for the first time. The hit rate on those scams doesn't have to be high, if they send a million emails and cheat one person out of a $1,000, they're probably doing great.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by,
and then it petered out and I had to retrace my steps and wasted half a day.

I told my boss today that I probably wouldn't have to work there any more because I got an email from England stating that if I could help them a little I could collect from the 10 million dollars that is set aside for some unknown foreigner in the Bank of England.

I'm sure that as soon as I send them my bank routing number, etc. that the money will be transferred very quickly.


My money to them , not theirs to mine...
