Scam Email Or I'm Rich - Weird email saying I won UK lottery

QUOTE(dave2win @ Apr 16 2008, 11:50 AM) *
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.

QUOTE
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.

    although it is advertised on their web site that you can receive your email in your email client

  13. Rss
    The Email killer? (5)
    With the release of IE7, and its built-in support for RSS, this just might be the coming of age for
    RSS technology. RSS has been around for some time now. It has, however, found acceptance only in
    tech-heavy circles. I've myself been using RSS for a year now - started with Google Ig, then
    used Opera RSS reader, and lately have been using Netvibes for reading RSS. RSS holds obvious
    advantages over email. The non-intrusive pull-mechanism, as opposed to the email push-mechanism,
    makes RSS somewhat resistant to spam. Managing the feeds becomes easier since they are oft....
