Apparently not everyone is paying attention to these spam emails. There was
an article in the Spokane Review, August 18 I believe, where a Title company
officer is being investigated for embezzelment, but it appears he responded
to this fax and the company was bulked for nearly $500,000.

I get an average of 3 or 4 emails from TUTU and his colleagues daily, and
alone could keep the secret service fairly busy.
All emails vary slightly on the same theme. The names, countries, dollar
amounts, and specific yarns change but the gist is the same - give me your
bank account number and I will deposit many millions of dollars therein.
I wonder how giving this information permits someone to abscond with the
funds. Obviously, there are various steps between giving this information
and being finally scammed.
