Just what I always wanted. This little device will hook into my TV, so that way when
some person calls me, I get my television show disturbed by caller ID information. What
a perfect idea, especially for those who DO NOT WANT Caller ID, or DO NOT subscribe to
Caller ID.

What sort of subject line is that? Are they trying to make this look like a postmaster
report?

Nope, it's another rebuild your credit scam. Again, they are using the apology tactic,
but that won't work, especially with their lousy HTML. Must be a standard new plug-in
for that spam program to use the same bad HTML now with an apology statement.
