I got an e-mail like that once from some guy who wanted to buy a property that I have for sale, without first seeing it. Of course I thought that was very suspicious and after a little search on the net, I found out that it is a very common scam.<br /><br />Hugs from Gotchi's Sónia Mendeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579677645612525648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10088544.post-9105233489482736802010-09-11T01:57:56.590-04:002010-09-11T01:57:56.590-04:00creepy indeed. yikes! technology-blah-nology. i...creepy indeed. yikes! technology-blah-nology. it has gone too far. sounds like a scammer via the phone. strange, very strange. good for you for hadling it as you did.<br /><br />hey did ya get your book yet?Us4 Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739127381541688361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10088544.post-42827962982652872822010-09-10T23:38:10.376-04:002010-09-10T23:38:10.376-04:00Concatulations!
