[TowerTalk] FW: Your Enrolled Payment has been initiated

[Patrick Greenlee]

I get at least 10 a week of hose bogus messages.  Most are so obviously 
wrong but once in a while real scrutiny is needed. Actual email 
addresses as you mentioned are a key filter factor.

I withdraw my comment regarding picking cyber criminals to death with a 
hot salty dull pin.  Why not lease them out to car companies for use as 
crash test dummies?
