That's all pretty scary. Thank you for the detailed report and advice.

An email with the real name of a real agent almost fooled me! But I checked the email address that the scam came from. I always check the email address.

Thank you for sharing this information. I have figured it out, mostly, by myself. But it feels lonely, figuring it out by myself. Thank you for sharing this information.

I'm happy to help. I'm glad you know what to do.

I just read about a new scam this morning. Apparently, the scammers are skipping the Gmail accounts and getting domain email addresses designed to look like a publisher's domain. They're very, very sneaky. In this case, it was one letter off - it had an extra "s."

Imagine if they actually applied themselves to real work, how successful they'd be!
