More on email scams

To add to the two recent posts, here's an example of another one I
just received, targeting CFIG's (which I am not). This one has some
obvious issues that are usually hidden. Note the .ru in the return
address vs. the UK in the signature line. Also the TO field is not my
email address.

And then there's the "odd wording" to use the term of an earlier post.
I've also received almost 10 of these in response to selling my
glider. Some are probably after bank account numbers so they can send
you the funds (but really for ID theft). Others are likely trying to
send phony cashier's checks, which can take weeks to detect after
being deposited, with an extra amount included for you to pay their
shipping agent (with your good check), or similar.

This is a real epidemic.
