Look at that, scammers, trying to make some "cash". Whenever you get an email sent like this, it's scam for sure. I didn't even sign up for anything, or gave my e-mail away, and I get a coupld hundred thousand (in euros). I doubt it. What pure scam...I reported this to Yahoo!. QUOTE

The hilarious part of that email is the fact its grammatical integtrity is little to null. Also, you could possibly report them to their ISP since they stupidly included an email to contact them at. If I recall correctly, Yahoo! also is able to verify if the domain it came from is authentic. I hope that helps you out in some way, shape, or form.

this is also a take off of the scam that wants your baking account info so they can deposit 1.5 million in to your account because their government will freeze the funds. i get tons of emails a day on this stuff and am just now trying to create filters for them all. i've seen enough and wasted enough time trying to delete them manually. the winning the lottery scam is the most recent scam out there that has jsut begun to pick up lately(in the last 1-2 months). could be the same people running the chase bank, ebay and paypal scam because that picked up in the last 1-2 months. something new was added though. now they are targeting WESTERN UNION. this has only picked up in the last week or so. so everyone be aware please. if you aren't in business and the sender's email address isn't familiar, then don't open it and just delete the mass spam all at once. if your in business and these are getting sent to your business email(like me), create filters. in cpanel of trap17, you have HORDE mail that i recomend and not SQUIRELL mail. set your filters in horde and report all spam as in the "black list" i don't exactly now how the mail is forwarded.....either through one of the email clients in the cpanel or through a source that isn't accessable through cpanel. i have my email address forwarded to a yahoo account so if anyone knows this answer please let me know so the spam isn't bypassed directly to my yahoo even if i set filters up through horde. i say horde is better than squirell because you have to subscribe to accounts through squirell where horde is automatically subscribed and easily access your email account that have been created. i think squirell only accesses your main account until you subscribe and link to your other accounts.

first rule is NEVER reply to spam, NEVER click the unsubscribe link and NEVER e-mail to the
unsubscribe address. These are simply underhand tactics to get 'active' e-mail addresses.
Some other tips to avoid getting spammed in the first place: 1) Never use your real e-mail
address in newsgroups, this is the best place to get picked up by a spam bot. Use something like
