Title: Beware of Scammers!
Post by: hhowitzer on February 16, 2009, 03:12:26 PM
Hi everybody,

I've been a member for less than one week, and already some idiot is emailing me with the usual sob story, offering me a 25% cut of a few million dollars if I help, and asking for my address. These jerks like to take advantage of inventors like us. And unfortunately, our kind of people are kind-hearted and unsuspecting, and are likely to get ripped.

Be very careful who you send your information to, and never fall for any "if you help me then you'll become wealthy and I just need you to send me 100 dollars" line. Don't believe it.

Later,

hhowitzer

brian334, I actually laughed when I read your reply. ;D Of course I didn't mean to imply that anyone here is dumb, so I guess I've been properly put in my place. Will work on wording next time. Thanks.
