I got an email from daddy earlier last week telling me that I had gotten some mail at their place in California and what did I want done with it? Well I took a look at the scan he sent along and saw a couple big huge glaring errors. Although the return address SAYS it's from the right school, the return address itself was totally wrong. Then, when you look where it's addressed TO me (names and addresses removed for protection) it shows where I supposedly graduated FROM. Ok, I give them points for getting the year correct but the school name is wrong. Top things off....my parents' address? Well I havent had that as a mailing address for what, about 5 years now? My dad emailled later letting me know my brother had gotten the same thing in the mail and so he'd written asking about it. My brother told him that his (my brother's) current address is on file through the school's credit union and wouldnt be contacting him through our parent's place. He went on to say that anything arriving claiming that it was from our school needs to be destroyed because it's bogus. My brother also sent along a link that may be of interest :

If you scroll down to the 4th or 5th entry on that page, you can see where this school alumni start to discuss it.

I wrote dad back and told him to RTS it....

Wow, I know I offered some information to my high school for inclusion in a historical book of alumni, this was a couple years ago, and it was legitimate. I would not have trusted that piece of mail either.

It's a shame there are so many scams out there to try to hook people. :\

Yes, it's a shame that people out there have to take what would be a very nice idea and use it for nefarious reasons.

I had to look up the word "nefarious" in the dictionary. :\

Nefarious - you know, Iniquitous... umm... like on the Joker, Riddler, Penguin, and Catwoman side...

Sorry Alice...it's one of the few big words I remember having to learn in highschool. I like to try and use them now and then so I remember what they mean....
