Could represent quite a revenue opportunity. I can see it now....... "I have the high honor to inform for you a business opportunity of unimaginable proportions.

Well, it adds credence to the feeling that once the "data" is out there, it's out there for good. Thanks Barry.

Barry, My callsign has been changed for many years now. If we still have wb5igf(a)arrl.org active, then please can it. If someone wants to contact me that isn't anymore up to date than that, they deserve to have to do a little research first !!!!! 73 Joel W5ZN

Here's a quote from the latest one that I have received: "I am an Attorney base in Nigeria I represent the retiredgeneral of the Nigeria Army. " I knew the attorneys would eventually end up with all this money.

Rod, I found 12 references going back to about 1994... Example: "What is Amateur Radio? Amateur Radio. You've heard of it. You probably know that Amateur Radio operators are also called "hams". (Nobody knows quite why!) Perhaps you have seen amateur call signs (station identifiers) like W3ABC, KB6ZV, WA2DHF or K1ZZ on auto license plates. But who are these people and what do they do?" <http://private.addcom.de/df1zn/what_is.html> These are all subject to harvesting by spammers. I wish it weren't so, but... 73, Gary KI4LA

Rod: I did a quick search on kb6zv(a)arrl.org <mailto:kb6zv@arrl.org> using google.com and found 4 separate instances where that e-mail address is out there on a web page of some sort to this day. In all cases, it appears as if they were articles written while you were President. I'm sure the spammer harvested the old address from one of those pages. And, just FWI, we still keep that address active so that you can get mail from people who might not know of your callsign change. 73, Barry, N1VXY -----Original Message----- From: Rod Stafford W6ROD [mailto:w6rod@ix.netcom.com] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 2:40 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:7453] Fwd: AcquireSolution requests your permission For the computer types or just those interested in unsolicited email "stuff" I have something to share with you.

I assume some of you recd the same email as shown below. Did any of you who have changed your call in the last few years get it sent to your "old call" (@arrl.org, of course)? By the way, I was talking with a police officer today who works in the San Jose PD fraud unit and specializes in computer fraud cases. I asked him about the email solicitations from Nigeria. He was well aware of them. They've mentioned them at conferences over the last several years. He said I'd be amazed how many people are actually swindled out of some money each year as a result of those solicitations. 73, Rod p.s. One to think about: Attorney questioning the medical examiner.
