Ah well. A GOOGLE search lists about 30 anti-scam websites listing this as fraud. Guess I better show up at work today.
On the other hand, I have received a notice from the US government that some of my investments in the late 90s and early 2000s were handled less than honestly. So fasr I have received about $75. But in December I may be eligible for up to $500. Just have to file the proper paperwork. This of course is not a scam - at least not now.
