Thanks for the input, Jean. It sounds as though you have the browser I should be using ;-) I think its a very good thing if you can help spread the word in this manner. Alerting potential victims before they get stung by this crime is definitely the way to go. Word of mouth also travels far. So good luck and thanks for doing this.
