Scam Alert

Last year I got $4800 in bad money orders for one puppy!!! So I thought it was a scam. But as soon as the money orders arrived I started getting non stop phone calls from these foreign men wanting me to send them the extra money so their "trainer" could come and pick up the dog. So I took the money orders to the Post Master in my town and he confirmed they were bad and said to tell the callers to get lost because they were no good. This very intellegent and very well spoken man called me with the most charming voice you ever heard and was telling me all this non sense about how he was the trainer and he wanted to come and meet me. I told him it was a scam and to get lost and they never called again. But I found out if I divert all my e-mail to Google's Gmail.com it filters out all this non sense! Send me an e-mail if you would like to join them. I love using GMail instead of Outlook just because of the filters! Any way, don't get caught by these creeps!!!!

e-mail address

Hi you all: That was such a funny post about the pay back to the scammers. They deserve everything they get! Leslie I am going to try to explain how the Google e-mail works and I hope this makes sense! I'm not too good at explainig how I did this. Any way, as for using the Google e-mail I just had my e-mail forwarded to my new address at Google. I did have to open a new e-mail account with Google but I still have my old account and address. I had a computer melt down last year and couldn't access all my e-mail accounts for a few days until my new part came so I started forwarding all e-mail to Google and was pleasently suprised to see that they filter out all the spam! I love it. You can access you e-mail from any computer all you need is your address and your pass word. You could keep your old address and have everything forwarded and then slowly change every one over to your new address. I'm assuming you are using it for business and maybe have it on business cards and such. I hope this helps.

e-mail address

Leslie, since I started using Gmail I did find one of my customers in the spam box. I check the spam box now just in case but haven't found any others. If you do find one in there just mark it as not spam and they will not put it in there again and the same for spam. Once in a while some spam gets into my in box so I just mark it spam and the sysytem filters it out. As for keeping your old address you could still keep it and just open a new address for new business and slowly switch everyone over. Just send an e-mail to my web site and I will send you an invatation to join gmial. You could try it and see if you like it and still keep your old one as well.
