[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 84643, member: 878"]I agree, GMA. That's my subtle point. On the other hand, it has happened, looking 90% real. So one gets on the phone, calls the local branch bank, gets referred to a number at another office, then is transferred to a department which can help. Etc. and so on. After 48 minutes you are told you were right. It's bogus. OTOH - I found $128 at my state treasurer's office on a hint from a neighbor who bumped into what she thought might be my name. And 25 shares of stock I didn't remember I owned. Bought 5 shares 30 years ago ($375) only because it saved me 50% at Marriott hotels I would be using a lot in the next 12 months. But I'm sure you've clicked on SPAM more than once based on the subject line. "Doktor schlotz has beautiful news. Yu have won a lotery in Bangledesh" So what's false and what's only semi false? What do you really do with a high bidder who now throws all kinds of rules and reg's at you after being declared winner?[/QUOTE]
