Re: SOLIDARIDAD CON BRIAN
I agree with everyone who has seen this as undoubtedly a scam. What I'm
curious about is why the person who first put this on the List didn't first
check it's validity with "International Internet Service Providors"
(assuming that there IS any such organization). That question is a
generality and applies to the person who first picks up every one of these
things, which keep showing up on various lists - unless that person is the
INITIATOR of the scam ? ? ?
