Looks like a scam to me, especially since I have no idea who these people are. The e-mail address looks funny too. It's is sent to 100's of email addresses, (many looking like e-mail lists from companies like Macafee), that look like they were copied and hope that someone would be dumb enough to respond.


Mine was for $425, but it's long gone.

Watched “The Bee Keeper” last night. The movie starts out with scammers who empty the entire life savings of a retired woman, a friend of Jason Stratham, a beekeeper. If you are violence averse you will hate it but if you know Jason’s work you know what to expect and may find it exciting. Even my wife who hates violence in films liked it.

I had a similar issue with Walmart, supposedly my order for internet security services have been renewed and they were going to charge me $299.00 for secure transaction. It’s been hard to believe, but unfortunately they get away with some people.

Area code 805 is a California area code. But I notice that the invoice date is dd/mm/YYYY not mm/dd/yyyy. Something fishey here.

Longshadow. you seem to be the only person who realized the purpose of my post. To All the rest who responded, thank you for your responses. Just showing the rest of the UHH's out there that we always need to be alert as many of these emails are not as easy to detect as this one.

Call Jason Straham, a Beekeeper, he'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Yes, by pulling your lungs out of your chest….through your left nostril. Have you seen the movie? What did you think if you did see it.

Laugh all you want. Go ahead and ignore unsolicited messages with offers. My mail-order Russian bride will be showing up soon. She sent me her picture (Oh My) and said that she was looking for someone like me. I sent her money for her passport and plane ticket so I know she will be coming. She was to be here last month; however, something came up and she needed me to send her more money. I can hardly wait...!
