Folks,  use some common sense.  Be suspicious of
anyone who is afraid/unwilling to use his/her name in their email
address.  Ask yourself:  "..what is this person trying to hide; and
why?".  

Be suspicious of anyone who hides behind some ridiculous name.  If you
send money, send it US Mail CERTIFIED.  Get a return receipt as proof
it was received.  Some years ago people were asked to send money to
some mailbox place made out to "cash".  A few people did so and they
were scammed.  

If you are sending money to someone, ask for their phone number and
call them.  Make sure you have some way of contacting them.  Sure, they
can later put an answering machine on to take all calls but at least
you have a number to try.

Remember, an ounce of caution can save you big bucks!

Bob
