Re: [meteorite-list] SPAM from In Depth Friends Page
Hi, Mike, List, Who falls for that stuff anyway? Advance Fee Frauds, or 419 scams, collect in excess of half a billion US dollars a year worldwide, of which at least $80 million a year comes frome the US. The Champion US Sucker is an Oregon woman who lose over $400,000 in 2008. Victims have been kidnapped for ransom, murdered, and sometimes turned into criminals themselves. Read all about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_fraud Sterling K.

Hi Michael, I received a spam response from the friends page as well. But, I get so much spam anyway (from the web in general, not your site), that it didn't bug me. I just deleted it. It was the typical Nigerian type scam involving millions of dollars, bank transfers, etc. Who falls for that stuff anyway?
