      there was actually an article in todays newspaper here concerning the "latest" internet scam... "phishing" - i thought that term was only used on aol years ago to get accounts and such.

      anyway. i was suprised to find out that a front page article had to be done to help these people not get scammed by such an obvious email.

        simle email similar to this
        the media had to publish it over every newscast, radio news bulletin on the hour and every newspaper for a week - and STILL people got scammed
