Your won't be able to post comments to this story. Sorry.  There's something broken in my template, and I don't have the latest version of Blogsphere available. I'll do my best to sort out the problem in the next few days. But honestly, I'm not too anxious about what I'll hear on this provocative but ultimately useless post.

As more people encounter our community here within the Lotus product line, I thought it might be valuable to provide some insight into the types of people you'll encounter. Forewarned is forearmed, and I'm sure we'd all like to be warned and armed against the following rogue's gallery of Lotus online culture.

A surprisingly honest offer

I get 419 scam emails all the time. If you're on the internet, I bet you do too. I bothered to read one today simply because it had better English than I normally see, and it claimed to be from a British estate executor rather than the former assistant to the Deputy Minister of Oil of Arundi Barundi.

So you can probably imagine my surprise when I read this sentence:

To facilitate the process of immediate transfer of this fund to your designated bank account, you need firstly signify your interest by contacting me via e-mail, and then I will appraise you with complete details as soon as I obtain your confidence.
(italics mine)


What refreshing honesty for an email scam!
