It's hard to explain but any con artist or Social Engineer knows what I mean, when you type, talk, and write, there is naked personality inside it, and some people can pick that up. I can. And you seem pretty easy to fool from your mail. and the fact you gave up on SUSE for Mandrake over something stupid adds to this, thinking psychologically, it would appear you fit into a stereotype of people who don't like anything that at first is hard to use, and from there, I can go on and on and build a profile of you in my head and use it to my advantage.

I won't scam for reasons of my own personal gain unless hired to do so by a company / person who wants to be tested or a boss may hire me to etst employees. In other words: sorry my powers can only be used for good.
No serious bussiness asks for your password on an email form.
They try though! ;) I've seen so many people get just nabbed by scams. I am very good at it but my hopes are to make stupidity lowered, not take mnoey. I've scammed money from people before, and gave it back.
