Looks like he already has a Japanese domain. That could come in handy while he's there for "treatment".

Darn! I'm no longer employed! That means I can't fill out the needed info. I guess I'll have to kiss the "$1.5 Million" good bye! Maybe I can claim it against my Federal Income Tax... for the rest of my life... and my children's lives... and my Grand-children's and ...

I'd probably live in CA too, if that's my other choice! :p

From some of the responses to the "ingest/inject disinfectant" announcement, I'd say there are still a vast n umber of illiterates among us. However, that may be the only thing that saved them from believing these SCAMs. I am still getting emails from people reading the SCAMs I posted on my MailScamAlert site from folks who ask me how they can get the junk they were promised for a "contribution". "Red flags" don't seem to be enough for them to read my warnings. Maybe I should make them bigger and an i m a t e  d  ! :Thinking: :blush-anim-cl:

I am getting emails that are purportedly forwarded from someone I know, but the sender's address is unknown to me. The message is something like "I forgot to forward this to you" (and nothing else) and there is a shortened link. Of course, I immediately trash them.

Is anyone else seeing this?
