If you use GMail, as I do, you may receive the following email from the address – dataverifying@gmail.com:

This is obviously a scam, but we still wanted to warn our readers.
Misspelled words, grammatically incorrect sentences, etc. are sure signs of scams.

A lot of email accounts are being scammed by this. MSN< hotmail and yahoo that I know of.
ReplyDeleteI get scams every week from different morons who can't write proper English but want to "send me millions of dollars because I am a good person," and all I have to do is give them my information. The only thing I would send those scammers is a 357 projectile!
