The following came in as an email. BTW, he forgot the attachment...
SUBJECT: I am unable to finish my purchase because of an
issue. Please assist me to resolve it quickly.
"Greetings, As a
loyal client of your platform, I thought I knew what to anticipate. I a
short time ago bought something; however, this time there was a concern.
An surprising issue came to my attention when I looked at my bank
account summary: the total billed was triple than what was stated on
your site. To address this issue, I’ve
attached my bank report as proof. I’d appreciate it if you could check
this immediately and let me know how we can resolve this matter.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this. Yorselis F."

While "Costco",
"CVS", "Home Depot", "J.C. Penny",
"KOHLS", "Sams Club",
"Southwest Airlines", "Starbucks", "TJ MAXX”,
“Walmart",
are well respected, and long standing
companies, their name was ‘hi-jacked’
for these emailed scams. They had nothing to do with this and it has no
reflection on any of the following companies….We get a lot of
variations on the following.
SUBJECT: "Costco Voucher Code"

SUBJECT: "Starbucks $50 Card" Opens

Followed by this 'jiberish',
"REST is easier to maintain - all you have to do is monitor the API
documentation for any minute changes to the structure of the REST methods or
the structure of the data they return. If you see a change you will just
have to manually make the change in your hand-written code which parses the
response of the method. With SOAP you have the burden of right-clicking on
your reference and selecting "update" and then fixing a few
compile errors. (Sarcasm included free of charge.) Josh M. Nov 4 '10 at
18:36...@JoshM: If you've hand-written code to parse the response of a
generated response based upon a soft and flexible specification, you're not
using REST; you've hardcoded to a resource tree. It's the same as coding to
c:\windows\temp or whatever, as opposed to querying for the PROPER location
to use. Because it works for a while, doesn't make it the right thing to do,
nor is it good coding practice. Paul Sonier Jun 10 '11 at 18:01... @PaulSonier:
what's the right way to parse the response FROM what often is a soft and
flexible specification? I get that hardcoded brittle code isn't great, but
I'm looking for advice or examples on the client end of RESTful APIs and
coming up short so far. I think this is what Josh is getting at -- SOAP
needs the ton of boilerplate code but what you get for that is a visible and
enforceable contract on document format and type safety; RESTful APIs leave
out the contract and the boilerplate and often look simple enough it doesn't
matter, but... how do you not hardcode to the resource tree? metamatt Nov 17
'11 at 1:51.... (I get the HATEOAS argument, but using, say, ticles/richardsonMaturityModel.html
as an example -- there's still a fair amount of semantic interpretation
needed, after parsing the XML, before you get to the link elements that are
the "hypermedia controls".) metamatt Nov 17 '11 at 1:55..If you
dig into advanced features of SOAP (all the WS-* stuff), you'll quickly
discover that tools don't support these so well (including EAI and ESB
products) and that frameworks can behave differently depending (like Metro
vs C#) for subtleties such as "" and null. And the generated
boilerplate code is usually only to work around the burden cause by SOAP
itself.

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip,
because it was impromptu. I had to be in donetsk, Ukraine for a program. The
program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. I misplaced my
wallet and cell phone on my way back to the hotel i lodge in after i went
for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables things i have. Now,
my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when i make
payment.
I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to
run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of $2,550
FROM you. this will enable me sort our hotel bills and get my sorry self
back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me
with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you
can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so

wasn't seriously hurt or injured, I am still alive
so that is what's important and luckily I had my passport in my hotel room
to get me home. I need
your help financially to get back home, I need to settle some outstanding
hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport. I am really sorry i
am asking this of you, believe me I don't want to
ask I would rather take care of it my self but I cant, I have contacted my bank, but the best they can do is to mail a new
card which will take 2 to 3 days to get here. All
I need right now is $2800, If you can help that
would be great and I promise to make the refund once I get back home.
Please let me know if I can count on you and I need you to keep
checking your email because it's the only way I
can reach me.
Sincerely, Bruce B. – BOGUS!!!
(Yeah, OK, I guess I’d better get some money off to this guy as well…)

While “UPS” is a well
respected, and long standing company, their name was ‘hi-jacked’ for this
emailed scam. They had nothing to do with this and it has no reflection on
“UPS” as a company…. We get a lot of this one.

The only money you will send to them is $265 USD, being the security keeping
fee of the company so far, I would have paid that but they said
no because they were not sure of when you will be contacting them for the
delivery should incase of demurrage. So contact them right away and
remember to send them their $265 USD for immediate action.
Regards.
Mr. Key Jefferson"
OK, Mr. Jefferson, as soon as I save up another $265 (just sent off a check
to another company to get that million bucks ((not sure where I'm going to
keep all that money)), I'll get a check off to you....NOT
