ACMESkydiver 0 #2 June 8, 2005 Hey HH, there are quite a few versions of that one...my home e-mail has received it 3 times now. It can also look something like this --> Your e-mail account has been suspended for illegal activity. Click on the attachment to see detailed reporting of violations found on your account. Yeah....suuuuure. You'd think these losers would have something better to do with their intelligence... Also HH I have gotten a few of the "off-shore account multi-million dollars for you if you e-mail me your name and phone number to import these funds in to the US..." on my DZ.com accounts. Most recently was a couple of weeks ago, it was just a single message. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
