[pianotech] Spam, anyone?

[Stephen Grattan]

As a music store owner- this type of mail shows up all the time. The person wants you to assume that they want a piano.  They will pay with a fradulent credit card and disappear.  There is nothing innocent or poor grammar about it. It is usually someone off shore and is always a scam.

The best thing to do with these spam emails that are clearly of criminal nature is to go to www.ic3.govand file a complaint with the FBI

I've received this one too.  Gotta love their babbling sentences with no periods or anything.

Some spam is so bizarre that it's smile-worthy.  I'll let the baffling nature of his true intent slide, but I am unfortunately going to have to report him to the run-on sentence Police.
