With this story, they start off by saying you get the cash card if you pay a “reactivation” fee of 135 US Dollars. Now I’ve seen that somewhere before.

Oh yes, it was the 135 US Dollar shipment fee for FEDEX.

George can’t be reached by phone because he is away in Japan for the next 6 months. Japan must be really backward, if they don’t have telephones…..

Felix sent an empty e-mail, but added the massage as a text file. A bit unusual and there is no real reason why he should do this, so I just estimate he has no real pc experience.
