If it was a conference on marine algae, maybe; but a conference of marine algae?

Well, at least I wasn't asked to be an honored speaker at the 2012 SmallWood conference.
Though I do hope to attend. |

But I hear you're going to be a visiting instructor at Morningwood Academy.

There's apparently a phishing scam targeted at desperate people looking for work.
As a desperate person looking for work, I thought it was important to be educated about such things. Email job offers for which you have not applied are identify theft scams. You fill out some hiring paperwork and instead of starting an exciting and profitable job for a highly self-motivated person, you are trying to figure out how to read your completely destroyed credit report.

You can have all the ones that come in my spambucket.
Yes, I know exactly what I said.

I got one today from Mr. Andrew 442
"Warm Greetings!!! I need your assistance in a transaction that will profit us. Thank you," At least the fucker is honest and to the point. |

Here is one that came to me yesterday.
It was "Sent by" my cousin, with her correct full name, business title, business address, business phone, etc., and the email return was her correct (personal) Yahoo.com email address. Quote:
In any case, I called another family member to check it out, and it is a scam. My cousin is at home (in the US) and she is hearing from people she has known all over the world. Unfortunately, another member of the family did send money, and now are in the process of trying to get it back... rot's of ruck on that one ! At least my cousin now knows she is loved by many. |

Perhaps they keep recycling them. Sorry someone sent money.

Yikes. I'd never seen a personal one before. That's scary.
If my family got a scam email that was supposed to be from me and the email was talking about the fine kettle of fish I'd gotten into, my family would think it was just one more fine kettle of fish I'd gotten into. |
