I also got the same message. I knew it was a SPAM Message, so I deleted it. Yeah I'm also sure that it is from a Singaporean Site & .com.sg, never heard or seen any such endings for a web site. Those domains must be pretty new or the sender is using some PHP Anonymous Script Mailer so that he can enter all those bull *BLEEP* datas.

BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS?

I'm have got 3 mails of these kinds after I have signed up for hosting account at Trap17. I have got my account but along with that I'm also getting all these kinds of wierd messages. No offense Guys but I think some one in the Trap17 Admin section is misusing our data. Hey I'm not sure but I'm just suggesting. It may be the case. I am not saying that They are the one doing it but all those mails started coming to my mailbox after I started using Trap17. I think the Admins should be informed. More over the original poster of the message also is a member of Trap17 Forums. Both the mails are exactly the same. Letter to letter. I don't have the copy of the mail cause I deleted it considering it to be a sure SPAM but I remember the details( Come on who can forget that he had received a letter stating that he won UK Lottery of £1000,000.00 GBP ). I hope you get my point.


I didn't get any spam e-mail from trap17.com. I don't know how but some people find your e-mail address when you just create it, I just don't know how. And I suggest to all of you to have e-mail on gmail service. They have realy functionating spam filters. I used to have account at inbox.com but I was always getting spammy e-mails. And hotmail is the worst of free e-mail providers. In a one month I get about 1000 spammy e-mails, and gmail put them in spam section, so I don't open them. I just delete them all. And in my real gmail inbox I don't get any of e-mail spam. Also from the last year gmail don't put any kind of ads on your massages.

I for some reason recently received an email saying I won the UK lottery for the sum of 1,000,000 GBP. It is obviously a scam or I'm rich.


Obviously e-mail that you got is spam. That is just logic, who will give you £1000,000.00 GBP for nothing? Who could know how many people got the same e-mail. When you don't know sender of your e-mail just delete it. That is my advice.

Regards.
