We need to french fry whoever did this stuff.. The text seemed aborted on repetition/ forwarding - that worries me. As if it was somehow preventing exposing the words used. What it said was ; "John, can you do me a favor?, John L " So customized, brief, not a generic plea. Most of us would open that? Then , upon opening, it went to the scam about sick relatives in foreign countries. I am well aware of this kind of thing, not stupid, but the first email was ,to me very sophisticated?? played on someone who in fact respects John a lot,---I paused briefly-- and then thought "he needs something about 300's" . What a slime ball. French fry till a toasty critter.

Then the hacker puts a million addresses or so on storage media and peddles them around the world. The first victim will never know their list was stolen until someone tells them. Recipients that delete before opening are slightly better off as their e-mail address won't be on this particular list. In this case there did not appear to be any pictures or attachments that might have a virus to plant on the recipient's computer. Don't blame John or block his pretty cool e-mail address. He has much knowledge and experience to share. I'm kinda of a French fry guy myself. C300K'ly, Rich Barber Brentwood, CA (Just back from the "INC" meet in San Diego. All went well, especially no real trauma for the hard-luck award.)
