I plan to" is snipped from the editor's personal site's Link Page, which explores multi-media and other stuff primarily of interest to first person singular.

Hey JR, the internet scammers are still out there looking for easy money. The main method remains the same, counterfit cashiers check overpayment seeking a refund. The banks are nearly complicit with the crooks in that they do not identify fraudulent checks in a timely manner and two weeks is not enough time to insure the "payment" is good.
I've also been getting a lot of spam requests from bogus eBay/PayPal/Visa and Bank addresses saying there has been a new name added to your account and to please click the link provided to verify all of your account information. Info is never solicited by any of these business' via email, yet I'm sure there is someone out there who has clicked the link and given away all of their personal account info. @rt
anyway... here is a scamming the scammers page...
