Kayleen
Thanks for your reply.
My thoughts .... Deep down, I think your right. 
I havn't responded to the email.
I added a webpage translator for you, and anyone else who dosn't read Spanish
P.S. My future... son in law is Peruvian, and my daughter speaks spanish.
So the language is not a problem for me.

HMMMM seems like another psuedo scam to me.
Might be real, but so is the money you will probably be asked to fork out |

Hi Gary, I got the same email.
I am steering clear - I get these sort of offes all the time and while the first email never mentions cost it is inevitably $500 US or similar. This one though I would stay away from not just for the cost factor but for what would undoubtedly be poor quality (just going by their web site). I have gone into a couple of books due to be publisehd soon but it has been a no cost arrangement - wouldn't have done it for a fee, but I'll be sure to let you al know if anything worthwhile comes out of being in such a publication.

I feel so honored
I also got one of the best paypal ones I have ever seen too - an absolute work of art. I like it when they put some effort in, but its a real worry because people will fall for it. Liam gets several fraud issues every day from these emails at the NAB. |
