[Boatanchors] Returned mail: Data format error

[Bob Hardie- W5UQ]

Yep... I got it...
I've also been getting emails from "Pay Pal"   BUT, in my opin, they are 
NOT pay pal. 

They say my account has a problem... and they want ALLLLL this info..
they ask for my user name, password, social security number, bank 
account number passwords,
etc..
WOW>..  and I can't imagine anyone answering them with that info, 
BUT....BUT...I'll bet someone has and then they wonder how they were 
wiped out. 
The world has gone crazy... it's nothing like when I was a kid.
