Just received an email headed "Contact Western Agent right now to receiving your funds"

Went on to say "Urgent Attention!! My name is Mrs. Lisa. western union Agent in this year seasonal promotion. . ."

They had $300,000 for me (and apparently 40 others, all with email addresses starting with mma), all I had to do was call some guy, yada, yada.

The single biggest problem for these guys continues to be finding someone to do their stuff who doesn't write like a kindergartner.

The tip off for me is the wording of the email...usually it is awkwardly worded and this tells me its a scam. I delete these as quick as they are received although some of them are very good.
 
Tht "latest scam" is as old as emails, not sure how long they've been with us. Sometimes a slightly different slant on the action but generally, the same thing, "send me some money" !!!!
 
Geeee. If you are a lonley old coot and have no one to talk to I would think those would be a fun thing to read. You might make some money too.
 
I use Mailwasher.

It lets you see what is waiting to be downloaded and shows you the email address of the sender. You get to see some very funny looking addresses that sent emails with genuine brand names in the title.

And lets you wipe without ever having downloaded.
 
I had a guy call that could actually speak English tell me over the phone the UPS truck was on its way to my house with 1.5 million dollars from "the sweepstakes at the grocery store" and I needed to give him a credit card payment of $7500 before the truck arrived to release the funds. I said how bout you cover the release payment and I'll split it with ya?
 
It would be more productive to respond to the ads about submissive (some country) women or (some other country) mail order brides.
One of them might kill you, but what the heck?
 
I am waiting for two law agents. From some country I have never heard of to arrest me and take me back. For not paying taxes. I sure wish they would hurry up. I miss road trips.
