[Cynnabar] Sad News.....Randy Weiser THIS IS A SCAM

[Randy Asplund]

Thanks Magda. The header looked more like a death notice, but actually  
this scam is a very common one. I hear about it quite often. Its  
designed to make you panic before you can think. Once you think about  
it, it starts smelling really fishy.
