Anyone can be the target of an Email scam. Even the publisher of                                    a news web site.

Someone has been                                 trying to rip                                PutnamLIVE.com off-                                  but has failed.

We have been getting                             Spam Emails from                                  someone pretending                                    to work for major                                    banks across the country-banks that PutnamLIVE.com has never had accounts with.
