Gullible... >i became a little suspicious when i recieved this e-mailbut did respond to him asking several questions.< First off, you were only a little suspicious and second, you opened a e-mail and responded to it. A e-mail that may or may not be a password stealer. By your responding, you may have delivered that con person your password and or delivered him an "open back door" to your computer. It is possible that the sender of that e-mail now has your password and other info (home address, etc.), and if you do on-line buying or banking... May the good Lord help you. Gullible... >then turned around and asked him to contact me because of the time difference. < Someone that isn't gullible wouldn't have taken the step of corresponding. By your doing so, you put one foot into the fire. You put your computer at risk, as well as your livelihood and well being and for what? We teach kids about stranger danger and the same should apply on-line. Remember the old line... Hey little girl, want some candy? Turn that around to easy cash in this instance. Now you are left with no way of knowing how much info you may have supplied unknowingly because you didn't walk away from the start. I'd say that's gullible. >YOU CAN BE EMBARRESSED FOR ME ALL YOU WANT CAUSE I KNOW I DID THE RIGHT THING. < And would that be getting your "cap key" in working order? Really though, I do give you credit for seeing those red flags but walking right by them to look for more was no more wiser than swimming after a shark with a fish in your mouth. It might turn around and bite you.

RITA, AS FOR YOUR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SCAM I ONLY FOLLOWED UP BY E-MAIL. I NEVER GAVE HIM ANY OTHER INFO AS FAR AS MY ACCOUNT NUMBER OR ANYTHING. AND GULLABLE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I WASN'T GULLABLE I WAS SUSPICIOUS THE MINUTE I READ THE E-MAIL AND THE MAN NOT KNOWING WHO I AM OR WAS. SO YOU CAN BE EMBARRESSED FOR ME ALL YOU WANT CAUSE I KNOW I DID THE RIGHT THING. I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW FAR THIS MAN WAS GONNA TAKE THE HOLE THING AND AS SOON AS HE HEARD I WAS GOING TO REPORT IT HE BACKED OFF.AND I HAVEN'T HEARD A THING FROM THE SCANDILIOUS CREEP!

Have you just come out from under a rock? Do a google search... www.google.com Type in the name...Adebayo Peters. I can't believe you were gullible enough to let this scam contact you again let alone give a scam chain letter a second thought. I bet I've gotten this same letter a dozen times along with many others like it. I'v never been crazy enough to contact the sender. Their goal is to gain excess to your bank account and then rob you for all you're worth. Do yourself a favor and delete e-mail if you don't recognize the sender's name. Dang, I'm embarrassed for you.
