That's the kicker. It's the old "if it looks too good to be true, it is" but taken to an extreme. Anyone who would fall for this has to be on drugs. Kind of like clicking on a link that says "Proof that Barry Bonds did not take steroids."

Of course, in this day and age, I have little sympathy to people who fall prey to these sorts of things. If one wants to use a computer then, IMO, they should make sure they understand how to do so. For years I never had any virus software, and never got anything bad on my computer.

Cheers.
