Thanks for the comment.
Recently, I started to focus more on the email scams resulting in identity theft and financial fraud. It’s been taking away from focusing on my other identity theft blog which is more marketable to the general public My Identity Theft Blog dot com. I can’t wait to incorporate both blogs, but with so many projects and ideas I wish I could multiply myself.
All the best to you.

I was surprised to see this e-mailfrom Wm.Odey. Now is there someone assigned to bring this creep
some oversight, shackling, whatever?
When we receive such e-mails, do we delete them right away, forward them somewhere? I’d appreciate any advice in this matter. Thanks to all.
