DEER TICK WARNING
I hate it when people forward bogus warnings...but this one is real, and
it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail
list:
If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on
deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and
Being listed on the Telephone Preference Service in the UK, Do Not Call list
in the US or whatever in other countries is no help if the company calling
uses random dialling. Neither is being ex-directory (not listed) as we are.

I had one of these yesterday, and I told the guy (who had a very thick
accent, difficult to pinpoint wherefrom) I did not have a computer and hung
up.
Not 10 seconds later I received a call from a woman (again with a strong
accent) telling me not to hang up, that this was a evry serious matter a

My son had numerous cold calls from double glazing salespersons, so to take
his revenge he pretended to be interested in what she was saying and she
went into a very heavy sales pitch about double glazing, when she said to

Thought this warning was very important to cross post to warn anyone who
buys on ebay of a new type of scam rmail that I got yesterday. It was
supposedly from a seller, although it started 'Dear seller', asking if I was
still interested in their item. It had a link identical to the real ones

They'd have trouble charging me that. Mine's a pay as you go, not a billed
one, and I only put 10 pounds on at a time. There's currently 3 pounds 26 on

Dear Spiders -
I just got a call from The Lacemaker (Courtland, Ohio) and was told that their
site had been hacked (actually their host) and that financial information had
been stolen. Evidently, several customers had activity on their credit card
accounts and to be safe, they were calling everyo

went to Montreal this February, expecting to be able to withdraw
money at the ATMs at the roadside rests. However, our credit union

those machines worked with!
