I got a scam letter from amanda01 thought that admin might want to
know about this, as well as everyone else.

These letters have been floating around the internet for many years. For more information about them, and some really good laffs go to;
Are you saying someone here on the forum sent you a scam letter?
Marc,
I just checked. There is no amanda01 registered here on the forum.

Maybe Bergie deleted the account.
I’ve received three urgent notices today from banks that I have never had accounts with, asking me to log on and verify my account information in order to correct their accounting records. All of them came from eastern Europe, but not through the Kalmbach server.
Which reminds me, I haven’t gotten my million dollars from the Nigerian Princess yet. I’m beginning to suspect that she might have cheated me out of her family fortune.
Haha!
I’m not sure why that’s posted here…[%-)]
Thank-you for the heads-up. We get posts like yours several times a year claiming that someone from ebay has sent them an email threatening to close their account, or to suspend it unless they log on and clear up some detail. The link to ebay is, of course, spurious, and a huge and protracted headache if the recipient actually bites and clicks on the link.
If an email comes you you unsolicited and seems to be at odds with your understanding or familiarity, simply delete it, then go into “messages”, “block sender”, and you can block that address.
I get those all the time from so-called banks, lotto organizations and such. They ALL have one thing in common. You have to send your personnal information to get something that doesn’t exist. While you wait for your so-called prize, somebody accesses your bank accounts and takes your money and steals your idenity, running up credit card bills, leaving you with nothing except bills and court cases.
OK, something strange going on here.
According to shadtree’s profile, he/she has not been on the site since Aug 14, 2006 so how can a post in this users name show up today?
Also a somewhat strange/suspicious first post for a model railway forum.
But thanks for the heads-up anyway although I did not get any such e-mail myself.
I guess we all get them.
Couple of weeks ago I got what appeared to be a very sincere e-mail from the Wachovia bank “concerning some transactions on your account.” Interesting. I do not and never have done business with the Wachovia Bank.
Mouse to delete, left click, POOF!!!

According to my profile, I last visited on May 15, 2007. According to your profile, you last visited on November 4, 2006. Do they have a random number generator coming up with the dates?
The bizarre thing is these scammers are quite successful and Ron White is correct. [:)]

Did you happen to notice that the address was “amanda01@yahoo.com”?
Send an email to “abuse” and “postmaster” at Yahoo, and they will deal with it.
But I have a feeling it’s already been dealt with.
Get this! I got a call from a collection agent last week. Someone took out a credit card in my name back in 91. They used it and paid promptly on it for 15 years. They defaulted on it Xmas of last year. [%-)]Even the credit card company is baffled! My name SS# and address, but a mystery phone# and job.
Who steals an identity and keeps up the payments for 15 years???
lol!
Should have checked some others first…
Captain, I think we have a space/time continuum problem [X-)]
Perhaps that’s the last time you checked in on your profile (ie, last visit to “profile page”)?
Brad
Be patient. I just got mine last week.[:D]
It looks like you were close. It appears that is the last time one saves changes to one’s profile. Even after visiting my profile earlier in the day, it still had May 15, 2007 for last visited. After I clicked on the update profile, then clicked save changes, the date changed to October 2, 2007. Now the mystery is why do they call it “Last Visited” date.
Somebody with a bad credit rating! He was using yours. The account probably defaulted because he got sent to jail for fraud.[:)]
