Hi Mods and Mems,

Well, it's new to me anyways, but really well done.

Pretty good, eh?
Except the addy is a dot RU and the Phone # isn't GD
But the 30%* off new purchases is a nice touch. ;)

Anyways I thought I'd share this.
Not that anyone here would fall for it, but the email looks real.

Peace,
Cy

Hi Joe,

Fwd sent.
Another thing, some website designers are using GD name.
Phone calls and emails. The Ph #'s are spoofed so it doesn't do any good to try and call to opt out...
They are coming after hand reg's.

Peace,
Cy
