BTW-- I have gotten calls on my home phone from "Dale Shipp" and even
displaying my actual phone number, but only once or twice.

Yeah, we've had the same, from "Backus Richard" and our own phone
number... totally mind-boggling.... :)

I am not trying to TOP Your Experiences about what the Spammers do
with Telephone Calls,

Understood... just adding to the body of knowledge... :)

A Company I was going to purchase an item from, sent an Email
From: Me TO: Me
with some information I had asked them about their product.

And had you indeed asked them...?

Odd that they didn't acknowledge that they were doing the sending,
though, had it been legit.... ;)

WOW! It Happened to Me.

Them scammers is everywhere.... And some aren't exactly scammers, just merchandisers... I keep getting mail with "Here's the information you
asked for" prominently typed on the front of the envelope.... and then
it's a health newsletter or something... perfectly legit... if not
precisely what I was planning to subscribe to...

Computers are wonderful things... when they work.

Indeed. :)

... Anything free is worth what you pay for it.

And, occasionally, it might even be worth more.... :)
