have been known to steal your identity, cause serious virus's in your pc, and leave your bank account broke. If you have a spam feature on your email addy "send it to spam" alerting yahoo, aol, msn of the intent and body of the email. This helps not only protect you but others as well.

With the Holidays coming up and nearing the corner we will probably see much more of this and in changing forms that appear to be more real than the previous attempts that have hit our email accounts or mail boxes. Be ALERT, do not forward, do not respond and do not open any attachments. send to spam or delete !
