Hi all,
Just a warning. Don't panic.
Check everyone out and don't give information over the phone.
God is still in control.

The Y2K money scam has already started, see below, I got a call
from a man this weekend telling me he represented my bank and that they
were having difficulty meeting requirements to be computer ready for
Y2K. He said all bank customers would need to transfer their accounts to a
bond account specially designed to protect our money until the bank
could fully comply with Y2K requirements. He then said to verify that
he was talking to the proper account person I needed to confirm
information about myself,my account numbers and then give verbal
authorization to transfer funds to this specially designed account.
I don't trust folks who do this kind of thing so I asked him which of
the banks I use did he represent. He was not able to do that and
hung up at that point. Please pass this info to friends or family
because this is a huge scam that is going on all across the country. Some
people would be scared to think they would loose all their money
(which he said was sure to happen if I didn't do this now) and
would supply the information without first checking this out. I notified
phone company of the call - since I have caller ID, I could give
them a number but the identifier just said "out of area". It came from a
248 area code which is around Detroit. Anyway, just passing this
along so you'd be aware and beware.
