It is an unfortunate picture of General Hagee, as he apears to be wearing a very colourful skirt.

Thank for the heads up.

lmao

given the current global financial insecurity and some people's desperation, i would think the next 18 months are gong to see a massive increase in this kind of thing and email addy's will get more believable.

will your bank have the same name next week?, mine may not.

wow hagee is a capt now what the heck just blows my ind sometimes. i am going into the IT field and the more i learn and research the more scary it is scams are just everywhere on the internet. its pretty bad when you should even search for a link to one of your accounts because that could be spoofed to look just like the real website. just a tip always enter banking and any other secure pages you want to access, into the browser box. they are spoofing websites with urls that are very close to the real ones have to be careful.
