Ned,
I get these kind of emails all the time, and I use to open them and read
them, but I don't even open them now.
I'm glad you sent it, though, as we need to be warned of the dangerous
scams out there.
Also, everyone, please know that your bank will never send you an email and
ask for your credit card number. If you get such emails, just delete them.
There are too many people out there trying to steel our identity.
Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
