I received an offer supposedly from someone affiliated with "eSources". His name is Joe Mackman. I have pasted his initial e-mail below. I have several questions about this offer: 1) Who is Joe Mackman? 2) Is he affiliated with eSources? 3) Why is the e-mail address he is using as follows: from: Mackman Martin <[email protected]> reply-to: Mackman Martin <[email protected]> INSTEAD OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS: from: Mackman Joe <[email protected]> reply-to: Mackman Joe <[email protected]> OR BETTER YET, SOMETHING LIKE THIS: from: Mackman Joe <[email protected]> reply-to: Mackman Joe <[email protected]> 4) Who is Martin Mackman? 5) Is he affiliated with "eSoursces"? 6) Is this a legitimate offer? 7) My wife and I think this all looks VERY SUSPICIOUS. Is this a scam or, heaven forbid, a money laundering scheme? 8) Does “eSources” even offer a program like this? Lots of questions......I hope you have the answers.

All I can say is, "Thank You"!! Last year I lost approximately $10,000 in some Nigerian scams. No matter what I did they kept asking for more money. My wife says I must be on the "Sucker E-mail List"!! Looks like I am!!
Respectfully,
Mr. Sucker
