| Yeah I get this kind all the time -the foreign people needing our help, etc. It's really sad and aggrivating to get all this spam let alone at work. But the WORST one yet is the eBay one - they told me my account has been suspended until I update my info - including my ATM pin number! Now I knew that was a scam beforehand but it looked JUST like it was actually from eBay.

| I have received a few just like that one!!!! Delete them!!!!! As for Ebay- I get one like that too every so often. Also from Bank of America and a few others!!!! Always know these are all, I repeat- ALL SCAMS!!!! Any legit bank or any other company will NEVER ask for personal info over the computer!!!!! Please do not respond! I had a friend respond, (she's not the brightest with common sense!) and she had her identity stolen! It took her almost 2 years to clear everything up! Plus lawyer fees!!!! Please, never send personal info thru email that someone has sent to you!!!!!

| I get these all the time at least one a day or they want to buy dogs a lot out of Nigera and United Kingdom. This is so sad.
