FW: confidential business

[Kimi A. Adams]

David,

I have received several such emails.  They all come from different 
people.  It's a scam whereby they get your account information and withdraw 
money (or at least that's my take on it).  Always be careful of the people 
who ask for your bank information.  If you don't know them, then why would 
they ask for that information.

If you were to receive that much money from a legitimate deal, it would be 
by certified funds with attorneys at your door step.
