Just as a side note, there are few frauds(mainly from African under developed countries) caught here who do this online scams. They're called by the victim in the presence of police and trickily trapped.

I was thinking that'd be a good thing to do, if R is up to it
 
All those emails are no Spam.

They are written to make easy and fast money for the sender.

The scheme is almost the same in all of them.

A rich man or woman has died in a plane crash, have being murdered etc., etc. The sender pretends to have access to the dead person's bank account and he is now searching for one next of kin to pay the money to him.

If the money won't be transferred to a valid relative the full amount would go to the government of the country.

90 - 95% of the countries are Ivory Coast, followed by Senegal and some other african country.

To get the money it will be paid either by courier or transfer after your claim has been processed and having paid the small amount of 650US$ in advance to compensate for lawyer's cost.

I'm thinking about that kind of business which would provide a monthly income of 6,500US$ free of any tax with just 10 "customers".

Okay, I wasn't sure whether I should start a new thread or not, so I'm just going to put it here.

I recently got an email from "Nikola Tesla" with the following message:


Considering I'm not Jewish, and neither was Tesla, all I could do was just stare blankly at the email and then just laugh hysterically

Who have you been giving your email address to, Derstrom?


That email is given to very few people, which is what is confusing me. A friend of mine is receiving the same email, and she never gives her email to ANYONE except very close friends. What is this world coming to???
 
I sent this three days ago, he's still ignoring me.


I guess I'm through toying with him.
 
DerStrom:

I have an email address that I created so I could use my ISP's email. I have used just from myself from other networks. I've never given it to anybody and it's not in any address book and I get SPAM there. My only guess is that it was "harvested" e.g. from a possible virus and/or along the way or guessed.

My ISP also assigns a sequence of random characters for an email addy. I have never sent email to that address which is an alias to the above address. It has probably been used only within my ISP's network. No SPAM occurs with that address. They might have filters in it for that address too. I just don't know. I doubt it could be guessed.

Outlook address book entries can easily be harvested and probably others can too. That happens a lot.
 
Don't you get the phone calls that you won a million dollars, but in order to get it you have to send $ via western Union. They call back, they give you their number. They pretend that that they are a lawyer. They time it with Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes at times and pretend that their them.

When they tell me I've won $1M. I say, "And I am the Easter Bunny".

Sometimes it's a lot of fun to talk to them for an hour if I'm not busy and then say "NO",
