[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Happy Birthday song

[Russ Guarino]

Observation:

I don't think it should come as a surprise that there are lots of people out there
that will do anything to take your money.

Everyday I receive multiple spams asking for personal information under the guise
of
a bank authority confirming confidential data. They don't even offer a product to
trick the suckers. They just ask for the information flat out.  I expect the next
level to be " I am working on stealing your money.  Please send me you bank and
personal ID information".  They probably wont even say "Thank you".

The bad guys are everywhere, and they are more brazen than ever.
