Tamara, You're too clever to be taken in by this kind of spam. ;-) Unfortunately, there are people out there who don't think these things through and unfortunately they send payment ... only to get an embarrassed email a few months later saying, "Hi, everyone, my account was hacked. Hope no one got hurt..."
