Spam Scam??????
This is the second time this has showed up. I mentioned it in a thread the other day . What kinda PO's me is I can't find an email contact for yahoo on the pages
From: info@yahoo-billing.com | Add to Address Book
To: "Geeflipr"
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account Ekjvv
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2003 02:57:58 -0500
Dear Yahoo! User,
We encountered a billing error when attempting to renew your Yahoo! service. This type of error usually indicates that either the credit card you have on file has expired or that the billing address we have is not current.
This is your final notice. Please take a moment to update your credit card information by clicking here and submitting your information.
Please note that we will attempt to renew your service five days from today. If we are still unable to charge your credit card at that time, your service will be terminated.
Sincerely,
Yahoo! Billing Department

I used to get emails like that claiming to be from AOL, too. *Very* official looking. I fwd them to AOL three different times for a TOS violation (I'm sure I wasn't the only one) and they finally quit showing up in my inbox.

Well, I'm not retired, I just don't visit here alot 'cos looking at all the pretty tanks makes me sad.
I WILL have one again, but it'll be a while...
Moving to Australia in December for 6 months or so, then when I get back and get settled after the wedding hub-bub, I'll be starting on a tank.
*frazzled-look*
(EDIT: (months later) no I am NOT eep)

Sorry Ann-Marie I didn't think about the ramifications, but then I didn't invient the term , you should sue the cyber world or make Bill Gates set you up with about a 200 g chunk of the GBR 
It's 22F here, I cant imagine how cold it is in MAine. Between the achy knee and elbows trashed from 3.5 months of crutches I don't like the cold. I don't think snow camping will be on my recreation list no more , and x-c skiing is prolly not gonna be a big pursuit either. I wanna lie on tropical beach living on fruit juice and recycled veggies tryin to tan me irish hide
