This is slightly better than the one about Geek being stranded somewhere in Spain, or Mexico and wanting us to send him money. :thinking:

You mean Geek is not stranded still? But I just received this...
Weathergeek:
The day is here.:banana:Leaving in an hour for the bank to collect the money you all sent to me in Spain. For those of you who missed it, I am stranded in Spain and need money quick. Please wire it to my bank so I can get out of this country and back on American soil. Be safe and have a good time - WG :ride:

Just got this one, have to admit it's pretty darn good. :shocked: This is the reason that you NEVER click on email links to log into bank/credit card accounts. ALWAYS go directly to their site by typing their web address directly into your browser. :thumb:

:facepalm: Expect a load of spam inbound.

BTW I don't have a Citi card nor would I have used that email address, which is why I knew it was spam right away.

This one made me go check my Paypal account just in case (It was a scam/phishing email). BTW NEVER click the links in those emails, ALWAYS go directly to the site itself and login there. In this case www.paypal.com
