Look at this spam e-mail I got. Can you believe it? Is it really worth their effort? Do people actually fall for this??::
"This message was sent by the Citi=AE Cards Email Verification Server to verify your email address.

Well, it went pretty smoothly after I gave them my Citibank account number.
You mean it's a SCAM?????!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohmigawd!!!!!
kiddin'.......lol....
My first clue was that I DON'T HAVE A CITIBANK ACCOUNT!
I'm in the process of removing all our funds from cityBank. They're too stupid to handle our money; they lost a IRA rollover check for $30,000 that we couldn't get the issuing bank to reissue, because they have a policy we had to wait 90 days to make sure it wasn't cashed - and they told us it was for "our" protection.
citiBank charged us $30 for an unitemized item last month. I have now changed my social security direct deposit to our other bank. After I make sure that the direct deposit takes place this month, I'm closing my checking account at citibank.

I know! Me too!
And C.I., Maybe it really came from Citibank??? -- Or are the scammers taking advantage of the Citibank stupidity??:roll
Yikes. I guess if they send out a million of these and one bites, they make money! Amazing.
Now that Nigerian bloke who e-mailed me was quite friendly.
Unfortunately, some people do fall for those scams :-(
A nice nigerian fellow wanted to give me $30 million once, but I told him that he was far too generous and I couldn't accept.
ah Montana, it's nothing
all Africa wants to give me money. You are popular only in Nigeria, while people from Togo, Mali, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Nigeria are basically fighting who will put more money on my account
Wow!!! You are so fortunate to have such generous folks in your life ;-)
Hey! That Nigerian offered it to me first!
Sheeeeze. I fell for something. I clicked on Montana's link, and it said that I didn't belong to the CLUB. I've already paid my dues.
Fealola, I guess W.C. Fields was right. You can't cheat an honest man.
I have my Mercedes listed at a site for sale - I get contacts from all the fraud guys - I laugh when I reply to tell them to send me money orders in advance.
I ordered stuff from a truffle supplier in Italy one time, and had to transfer money to them. They gave me all their banking information, even though they never met me. I'm thinking maybe I should check out what's in there....isn't the net a freaky thing?
Wow, Cav. That's amazing!
Ah, maybe you should warn them.. if you still have the info.
You, know, I was just thinking of that, Osso? And boy, am I stupid I just looked and trashed the E-mail. Hmm but I guess I can forward what I posted here to CitiBank. Good Idea.
