[TowerTalk] FW: Your Enrolled Payment has been initiated

[Kim Elmore]

I don't mean to minimize the cyber crime threat. I mean to show that the 
thing was obvious on its face: even if the TT list charged for access 
(it doesn't) why would they charge in British pounds? That should seem 
_/*very*/_ odd and a so major warning sign. ANYTHING that stands out 
like that is a guarantee that it's dangerous to open. *Don't do it!!*
