I don’t mean to insult your site in any way, but it makes it impossible to read when you have words and graphics on top of each other.
Thanks for the feedback Mesalina. Unfortunately, I’m not seeing where overlap is occurring. If someone could provide more detail – including browser version and OS — that would be great.
What can I do to stop receiving these scam e-mails. I get 2-3 a day.
I received one of these scam letters claiming to be the Pay Master General. The grammar was so poor and the email referred to an ATM pin as the “code of conduct”. I am amazed that people actually question whether this is a scam. It is disturbing to know that anyone would release photo copies of passport information, etc… without question.
