scam messages -- caut related?

[Jim Kinnear]

Hi Susan

According to the FBI & RCMP stats, there is a thriving business, . . .
people are in a big hurry to get something for nothing . . .

I wonder if these same people would respond to an offer to sell them
grandma's piuano . .  with a possible fortune in ATT stock or gold bars
hidden inside . . .

Only $29.95 + 3,995.00 for shipping and handling . . . .???

I wonder . .
