I fell off my chair when I received an email starting:<<FROM THE DESK : DAVID R.SCOTT
I am the credit manager in a bank here in the United Kingdom...>> Now I know he lives in the UK and has banked a lot of fees <LOL> but it CAN'T be the same one, could it?!
Reading on, it looks like one of the Nigerian scams..deceased relatives, unclaimed inheritance etc. Amusing coincidence though. I'll take a bit more notice when I get one "From the desk of Yuri Gagarin." Paul Bramley |

I recieved that same spam earlier today and for a brief moment thought it might be from the one and only, David Randolph Scott! Then I opened it!  Paul |

During a particularly bad bout of e-mail virus of the sort that searches your address book and sends out e-mails from addresses it finds there, someone at NASA or in frequent contact with the agency apparently became infected, because I was getting a lot of virus spam from nasa.gov addresses.Among them were several very inappropriate messages "from" Peggy Whitson. ------------------

Hi- Dont we all- get SPAM- sometimes up to 10 per day- with about 12-14 enclosed from far afield.
Famous names- in all- I just delete them.
Asking to buy this and that- SPAM, SPAM, SPAM. [The olny good thing- their tins of meat- very tasty.ha ha;
regards from Brenda,
ps- I am off to pack now- see you all at the Weekend. |

Yes, I too, received an email from "David R Scott" today. It landed in my bulk mail folder so I just deleted it. Mine had a file attachment, too. I just figured the name was a coincidence - there must be a lot of people with the name David R Scott - but it certainly got my attention for a moment.  |

I received it too, this evening. His e-mail addy got my attention - tiscali is affiliated to 12move, the provider I am a client of. Tend to frequently get spam mail from that tiscali provider in the UK - maybe another Trojan Horse ??? Even received it twice ... All the best, Kirsten
