#63163 - 04/21/06 06:38 AM An Email from a Boomer Reader
Pam R. Member Registered: 03/10/06 Posts: 404	I just received an email from Jena10 stating it came from the Ivory Coast. Apparently she got my email address from the boomer website (stated so in the email). It is a religious email with a sad family story, asking for money to be wired to her country. Of course I deleted it but I am wondering if anyone else has gotten one too.

I can't believe anyone would think there are people in this world that would fall for something like that. They think because we're Boomer Women that we're old and crazy! I don't think soooooooo!!!!

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	Yup, it IS a scam. There are programs that can go through sites like this and scoop up all of our email addresses and send junk. Please do NOT respond to that email or you WILL be scammed. Kathy

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I got it too. She signed up for the forums and used the private message to do this. She's been deleted. I am sorry about this. It's a first. I've gotten these emails before but not through BWS. FYI: this person does not have your email address since it was sent through the forums. Email addresses are never given away at BWS or NABBW.
