Evil people are everywhere unfortunately. After all the hurricane related scams people should be extra careful in dealing with emails and phone calls that seem authentic. I just got an email from "support @ paypal" that says my account may be suspended unless I go through a series of identity verification pages. Of course, I have never had a paypal account. Dante would have to add an exta layer of Hell for email scammers and spammers.

Update: Went to Paypal's site and found you can forward them scams to spoof@paypal.com

Don't forget to check out Catholicmatch! I got an email saying someone had purchased a membership after going there from here. I decided to put up the ad for them after being invited to do so. After all, this is the site where I met the future Mrs. Revert (that is not us in the picture below)

We had John Zmirak speak at Faith on Tap this past March and I have been looking forward to the release of "The Bad Catholics Guide to Good Living" ever since. I do the website for Faith on Tap so please check it
out and if you are local, come to the next session this Monday night.
