Something I said or did probably "works." :^) Sure Jim. I believe you ;-). You are 100% right with e-mail. The problem is how do we get the uninformed of the world to not be so dumb as to answer this "official" (at least looking) notice? There was a case in NYC area where somebody put a sign up on the ATM that is was out of order, and to place your deposits in the box below. And people actually did that! I'm sure there are many people online who will fall for this. So, what do we all do? And a sometimes typical implied answer like "don't be stupid" doesn't work. That message that I received looked very official. And Jay Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sure does sound official.
