[odomike 0]

Good for you man. I think it's discusting how some people can't be bothered to earn money the hard way. I think that it is about time that these guys learnt how to earn an honest ?. I would personally never reply to any e-mail like that. If it's that important, the organisation will never e-mail you. Banks will send you written confirmation through the post if they need details etc. It's the same with those cheap and nasty adds that come up with some websites - stupid things like - " You are our 1,000,000 viewer, you win ?100,000. I've tried accessing these sites from different computers, and they all say the same. The way I see it is what you never had you'll never miss. I play my cards close to my chest. Thanks for your time, Sean Webber (alive).
