    Beware! Fraud Alert!

    Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 03:37 AM [General]

    Dear friends, I just received this email in the middle of the night EST here in New Hampshire. It looks like these thieves are now penetrating the disability forums trying to prey on those that are hurting finacially with offers of great riches if they will only give them their banking information to help them receive their great riches. This scam has been everywhere and now it is here. I emailed Josh and also sent him a copy of this and maybe it can be turned over to the FBI or something and have these people hunted down and prosecuted. I just wanted to warn everyone to be careful and not to be so easily deceived.
