SCAM - SECOND TIME
The #767 Scam came into my mail box a 2nd time today. They're obviously SPAMMING this pretty strong.

The telephone companies in the US should be blocking all access to countries that tolerate this type of Internatinal Fraud. There's simply no excuse for it when computers can instantly trace and single out such attempts at wholesale fraud, frauds which target innocent and often needy people. Loss of telephone privileges due to a fraud of this type can interfere with emergency calls, shut-ins, contact with family members who might be ill, etc.

If your friends have teen-agers who are constantly on the Internet, they may also receive this and they're move impulsive, more apt to reply to this type of challenging message. Send them a copy of this information in order to alert them to what is going on. If they've already fallen for this SCAM, HAVE THEM CALL THEIR TELEPHONE COMPANIES AT ONCE AND PROTEST, BEFORE THE BILL IS PAID!!

A delay can be very costly to you. There are so many things going on today, such as scams like this, which are very unfair but yet you find there is little that you can do about them. Lower echelon people in major corporations may be sympathetic, but the corporate rules do not allow them any room to maneuver in a manner which might be helpful to you. There are porno sites, for example, that buy credit card numbers by the thousand and bill your account on a monthly basis, but if you don't catch it and do something about it within 60 days, you're stuck with the charges.

Unfair? Yes. But you're still stuck no matter what you do.

Born in Ohio in 1924, which leaves the arithmetic to you. Raised in New Jersey on the banks of the Hudson River, where I often watched all the activities on the river, such as maiden voyages of the English liner, S.S. Queen Mary and the French liner, S.S. Normandie, the large vessels docking on the N.Y. side of the river. Spent five years at sea as a Merchant Seaman, rank of Purser. Sort of like roaming the world during and after WWII.
