There is the real problem. I'm sorry it cost you Ron. The trick is to NEVER  
respond or even open up their mail. After a while it becomes simple  to 
identify the crap. As long as someone responds, everybody will keep  getting 
"phished". As soon as people STOP responding, the "social engineering"  will stop. 
Remember, if you receive an unwanted E-mail, from  someone/something you didn't 
request, and they ask you to tell them if you don't  want it anymore - Don't 
respond!!  That just confirms you are a live person  and they will sell your 
name to other spammers. Delete, delete, delete!  -  Seth
