Okay...something smells "phishy," here. I was just about to book back on out of here, and decided to do a quick check of my e-mail...this was in there, with only "hello playwrite27" as the greeting"

Good Evening,

My name is Mr. Gerald Harris, and I represent a television production group affliated with the BBC. We are in the process of gathering participants for a new programme that discusses the phenomena of blogging, and delves into lives of bloggers from the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.

You would, of course, be compensated by the BBC for your time, if you are selected for filming.

We like your blog, and if you would have an interest in participating in our programme, please send forward us the link(s) to your blog(s), along with your contact information, age, and if possible, a photograph of yourself, to the address listed below:

I Googled the man's name, and the name of his "production group"--and nothing. Google has never heard of the company...of course, Gerald Harris has proved to be an extremely common name...AND, it did come to my spam box, instead of my in-box, so everything tells me this is a phsishing scam.

Common sense also tells me they wouldn't contact me in this manner--and, it just sounds incredibly bogus--I mean, who would watch a show like that?

And the wording--"please send forward us?" That screams "SCAM," if you ask me...and even if you don't ask me.

So, beware, bloggers, there seems to be a whole new scam in town, of late.
