I love how they expect me to turn over all my personal information to get the ridiculously high dollars from a person I don't know with an unidentified company, and who don't even know my name. Riiiiiiiight.
It must work though, or they wouldn't keep trying, I suppose. I am trying mightily to resist the urge to just reply with "sh*t!". Don't want to give them satisfaction of knowing I even opened it. You can report such trash to reportphishing@antiphishing.org

It must just be your turn in the cycle Annie.
Mine have dropped off a bit, having reached a high point 6 or so months ago.
Though, as I mentioned in an earlier thread, I was tickled to receive one, recently, in French. I s'pose because I've bought books from amazon.fr?
About 25% of the ones I get now are in Spanish. Hmmm... Por que?

Probably because there's a huge untapped pond of people, who are Spanish-speaking, who are new enough to computers that they may not yet be as jaded and unfoolable as those of us who've been getting phished for years.
The only ones I've gotten lately are those that are supposedly from a bank - that I've never banked with- saying that I need to follow the link and update my info.
My e-mail spam filter gets the others I guess.

How many octaves are they offering to add? On the high or low end?
Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I just got a rash of those from Scotiabank. I don't even live in Canada, let alone have an account with them. The last email told me there were putting a freeze on my account and to contact them IMMEDIATELY so they wouldn't have to do that. Sure...put a freeze on an account that doesn't exist. More power to you.
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent

I really don't get many. The Scotiabank ones were the first ones in a very long time. My regular email account is pretty good at filtering that stuff out, so I don't even see it until I check my spam folder for important stuff every week.
