LOL I pity them
Why not publish the e mail so it can be immediately recognised?
Agreed but I supposed they won’t so the people who are using won’t shut it down.
Never depend on someone else to do it for you, always use your commonsense before you click on to everything .
CIG is the biggest scam of them all.
Internet providers can very simply intercept these emails.
But why would they ???
Nobody cares.
Simply? How?
