Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Good morning, This is addressed to the moderator of our list as I think someone may be harvesting our e-mail addresses. Today, I received one of those e-mails that try to trick you into responding to a plea to help someone get their money out of one foreign country or another. I looked at the list of other people receiving this e-mail and many of them had something in their address that made it clear that they are acupuncturists. The return address from the sender was zoozoo00009 Recipients of the e-mail were asked to respond to sahu_arafat008 Since our TCM list is the only one I to that is for acupuncturists, I'm guessing the person may have gotten my e-mail address from our list. I don't know what, if anything, you can do about this, but I wanted to let you know. Many thanks, Elizabeth Casey, L.Ac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Liz: I have gotten these before, but not now. I am on another list from my school, and I am hearing a lot of acupuncturists mentions scam emails. Anything that looks the slightest bit shady get the delete button for me, and none of my attention. I realize it can be an annoyance and I hope it stops for you.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Dear all, FYI, there is an article in this week's LA Jewish Journal, about a guy who decided to " scam the scammers " from Africa, and wrote a book about it. The book is reviewed in an article called, " Conning a Con Artist " and the book is entitled: Tuesdays with Mantu, my adventures with a nigerian con artist, by Rich Siegel. He emphasizes that these guys are hardcore sophisticated criminals, who are very connected and have developed intricate systems and methods to bilk people out of millions. So if ever anyone receives any Email unsolicited from Africa, don't even open it, just push the spam button. Here's the link: http://www.jewishjournal.com/home/preview.php?id=18095 What was amazing to me is the sophistication of this scam. So please be careful! Sincerely, Yehuda Mark Milotay <mark wrote: Elizabeth, Please forward a copy of the email on to me. I will check the membership logs to see if either of these members are listed in our group.
