This is a problem coming probably from overseas. The originator has gotten mine, also. The people are using a program which uses a lot of fake intermixed with actual addresses for covering up the sender and obfuscating the actual sender. They ask to have you click on a site line in the text or they have an attachment. The fake ones are made up in a word/sentence generator, which gives them an off-the-wall feel to them. I have been receiving these since about the end of March. I believe they came from an ad or survey I took about then or it came from the capture of someone's mail info that had my address in it. The spam programs haven't stopped this one. Also, be aware the message using your ISP, with an attachment, asking for info or to open the attachment is being sent out again. This was making the rounds last year. Keep looking up, Tim Sinks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loren H.
