We got one the other day too... but it was something about a free domain or something like that. Forwarded it to the real email at www.swiftpay.com and deleted it. ;-)

Another one awhile back from darkstar or something like that was funny too. It was charging our cc for something or another like doing our laundry $248. lmao A ploy page to get people to enter their real cc info.

I wasn't sure if that was a scam or not...so I entered Len's cc# from 1999

I'm sure both os those offers were on the up and up Serge. So you should be watching the mail for another $1000 from Lens! He's sure to reward you for helping him get free domains as well as always looking spiffy clean in his freshly laundered clothes!

I bet he will...with 2x4!

You're thinking short term again Serge!!

Simply find about 199 more deals for Lens...

Get another 199 rewards of 2x4's...

Add on a room addition!!

All you have to do is get some other deals for people that will throw roofing and such at you!! I would have thought you'd see the possibilities in this!!

You need to watch ST:NG and see how the Ferengi always look at every angle to profit!! lol

[Cindyff]

Its a scam, its obvious English is not their first language.
