Pretending He Had Previous ContactHere's a funny one...this is the beginning of an email I got from a website I had never had any contact with: Just a quick follow-up from [spammerwebsite].com. To refresh your memory... Hmmm...so apparently I did contact them, and they're "following-up" that discussion. I just don't remember contacting them. Of course, the really odd thing is, I received this email 3 times in a single day! On three separate email addresses! So, apparently I had talked to three of their reps, and didn't remember any of them! I must be losing my mind... A Helpful Hint If someone sends you an email that refers to a 'previous' conversation they had with you, don't assume it's so! If they had a conversation with you, they would mention specifics of the conversation which would refresh your memory. And if they didn't have a conversation with you, but are pretending they did, that tells you one thing, and one thing only about them: They are dishonest people that you don't want to do business with!
