I just received two emails in two days asking for my account and credit card numbers for verification of my 'paypal' account. Email linked to an obscure ip and port in South Korea. So I dutifully made a connection to that ip address and port. Lots of connections. So many, that no one else I knew could get into that paypal verification page- from anywhere. After several days of attempting to connect so I could enter my credit card info, the site went away. I wonder why? :omg: Paul

I do occasionally. I get so much of it and sometimes the title of the email gets me. However, I never buy anything from a site that spammed me. If I am already a customer and it is obvious SPAM (not sent to the email address I registered) I reconsider making future purchases from them. John

I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.
