[Adam Murphy]

Hello list

contact form:

Kathie <kathiekearns at gmail.com>

Hello, I am writing in an unusual case ... Some time ago, I used your 
services, and one of your employees face was familiar to me. At dinner 
with my wife, it turned out that he was a burglar, who 5 years ago broke 
into our home!!! This is ridiculous!!! How you can hire criminals? I 
found at least 3 bad entries for him at website for background check!! I 
am sure there are more!!! Please do something about it, things like that 
are ridiculous!!!

I have never read an email like this one before so it caught my 
attention. It is a phishing/spam/junk email. Did a Google search on the 
exact phrase "Some time ago, I used your services, and one of your 
employees" which returned over 100 results and the first page contained 
recent timestamps. It appears to be a newish email going around. Thought 
I would share just in case others get the email and don't spend time 
looking for the burglar.

Adam
p.s. I wonder if Kathie has a new TV?
