Hey Brian, agree with you totally. I have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of junk mail I get. I never used to get any, up until a few weeks ago, now heaps. Always with a heading "respond quickly" or "get your money now" or something along those lines. I just delete them immediately and would never open one!!!!

It appears that crime does pay, apparently, to the tune of US$2.1 billion a year, as report on ABC website;

While we all work for an honest living! Oh well, at least we don't have to constantly keep looking over our shoulder!
