Today I received an email titled "Click to confirm your subscription". In it was a link you are supposed to click to join a mailing list. The scary thing is that the return address appears to be a valid one for Steve. I sent an email to Steve at his MTFCI address, and he confirmed that HE had gotten one of these emails and he was not responsible for sending them. My advice is that if you get an email like this, delete it immediately.

Anytime any email asks you to confirm ANYTHING - It is a scam.
They usually start out "Dear Customer"
That's because they don't know your name.

Many times just a look at the email address gives the game away. Sometimes I will accept a friend request on Facebook and troll the obvious scammer, pretending to be an oblivious sucker. Meanwhile I'm making screen shots of the entire conversation. Eventually I lower the boom, posting all the screen shots for the world to see, and ridiculing the scammer's bad English and profound incompetence. I know I won't reform anybody, but I like to think I'm doing my little part to ruin his day. I don't do this every time, as it could become a full time job.
