There are a lot of these scams, most are via the phone. I told an Indian sounding guy who reckoned he was from Microsoft that I didn't have a computer ... his response was an incredulous "you don't have a computer?" and he hung up.

There is a Government Scan Watch site but the one you mentioned, Red, isn't on it. Maybe you should forward the email to them so that they can alert the rest of the community?

Suing people - the best and most legal scam.

This f..ker needs to make up it's mind which gender it is. Look, old style barber shops do mens hair cuts. they are much cheaper than the places women get ripped of in. Simple, cut it, shave it, get out.

A women's hair do even if it on a man is not their thing.

Transgender male denied haircut at US barber shop sues

The owner of a California barber shop is in hot water after denying a haircut to a transgender male who was told he looked like a woman.

According to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Los Angeles court, Rose Trevis was bluntly informed that women were not welcome when attempting to get a haircut at Hawleywood's Barber Shop in Long Beach earlier this month.

The suit alleges that Travis was told Hawleywood's was an "old-school barber shop" and it was best to try to get a cut at another salon.

"Who says I'm a woman?" Trevis fired back, according to the lawsuit.

One of the barbers in the shop allegedly responded: "Like I said, we don't cut women's hair."

When told the shop's policy was discriminatory, another barber responded "we don't care" and "women are not even allowed in the shop," the suit alleges.

Hawleywood's website describes the shop as a "real men's sanctuary" where customers can indulge in the latest issue of The Horse Backstreet Choppers - a motorcycle magazine - and where "one thing you won't see ... is women."

The lawsuit alleges that Travis "felt ashamed and humiliated" by Hawleywood's denial of service and seeks unspecified damages.

The owner of Hawleywood's, which lists three locations in California and one in Sydney, Australia, could not immediately be reached for comment.
