Amazon also thinks "Kate the Disgruntled Bear" is my *real* name. They gave me a special little tag and everything.

I get these things ALL the time. Sometimes I feel like replying just to ask them if they think I'm an idiot. *shakes head* Actually, I shouldn't be too amused because my husband's grandmother almost fell for one of these scams.

The thing I love most about these letters are all the typos. Not very bright for an attorney. I especially like the $12,000,000 million dollars. A little redundant, ya think?

Mary@GigglesandGuns said...
