Why are Garren Fitzenreiter and admin@keithware.com Sending Me a PayPal Bill for Their Inspection Sticker Ticket?   2/16/2006 - 1,060 views, 1 Comment

Someone calling themselves Garren Fitzenreiter, using the email address admin@keithware.com, is sending people Paypal invoices out of the blue, with the subject “help me pay for my inspection sticker ticket and ill love you forever. thanks”

It’s a clever scheme, and who knows, maybe his name really is Garren Fitzenreiter (although the domain keithware.com is registered to someone name Lee Dickinson), and maybe he really does need the money to pay for an inspection sticker ticket.

But it’s still spam, and still a scam.

Don’t fall for it!

Here’s the email:

Subject: help me pay for my inspection sticker ticket and ill love you forever. thanks

So, there you have it. I’m curious as to how many of these things he sent out. I’ve already heard from a few people that they got the same email.

I’m also curious as to how many people, if any, actually send him the money.

As one friend put it, welcome to the newest form of Internet panhandling.
