The Internet is a wonderful invention and a necessary\u00a0one, but it is such a pity that it is so easily used by evil people to extract money from unsuspecting good and honest people. The mail below looks very official and so does most of the internet scams these days, I am afraid that every single one of us will sometime in the future be caught one way or another as the scammers get more and more organized. We have to not let our guard\u00a0down when it come to these scams. I believe our first thought should always be one of suspicion and then take it from there. Maybe we could publish scams, if you have been caught out by one send us the information. We will publish your name as people are also very quick to call us stupid if we were caught, but it is not that we are stupid it is because we are innocent victims.<\/address>\n<table width=\"912\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"902\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:small;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:665px;height:84px;\" src=\"https:\/\/byfiles.storage.live.com\/y1p658zNQ7_mjmfdfIyJhEt9MPx29CT2faxNSGytedLi7KWgiZbvb49LpDawo7frMgAFCFjthC7AvPWxXtK6ckJYA\/header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"93\" \/> <\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:small;\">Your registered name g g g\u00a0 ( <a href=\"mailto:francemaritz@aol.com\">francemaritz@aol.com<\/a>\u00a0) is included to show this message originated from U.S. Department of State.
