[> [> Thanks, judi. I knew it had to be a scam, but at least this will forewarn all the Harmy gals not to be suckered in. -- Lee, 15:22:16 02/01/07 Thu [1]

[> Yes, definitely spam! Anything like this saying you've won money is a scam. Anything requiring you to send money to get a lot of money in return is a scam. Anyone wanting to send you a cashier's check or money order for more than the amount they owe you and you are to forward the extra money on is a scam. Snopes is an excellent resource for finding all these scams and their variations. -- Sarahsue--and if you're not sure, always ask here first to make sure it's legit, 16:35:00 02/01/07 Thu [1]
