Look at this Professional SCAM that i just received in My E-Mail

    Somebody is trying to scam me :D , and its not the first time that i receive this kind of messages in my e-mail box, if you reply to this message they will ask to open a virtual bank account (in www.scammerwebsite.com) where they "will send you 12 million dollars", the cost of this virtual account can be anything from $200 to a thousands of dollars. and after that u will never hear about them.

    Here is the message that this scammer sent me.

    i really hope no one in the world is stupid enough to reply and believe this kind of scams.

    cheers.

    welcome to the internets... personally I get about a dozen or so of these mails every month, not many lately, I think I'm starting to miss these little pieces of fiction

    YES Thats what i do too, but its still a waste of time to check and read those emails, did you know that Spam is costing US companies over $70 billion per year, Survey finds junk email costs $713 per head in loss of productivity :eek:

    i usually press the spam+block+delete button! all this spamming is a lot of waste of time, i think people should stop spaming and scamming as it's pretty much useless!:mad:

    Sadly that's the problem, it takes practically no effort to send out 1 million spam emails and just one naive/stupid/greedy person sending $500 has made it worth the spammers time and effort. :(

    Rajatoo9, only 30,000 emails, you must be a newbie! :D

    Nice to know I'm not alone with the huge inbox, having recently deleted anything pre-2004 on the basis that if I haven't replied to it yet then it's probably too late now... :rolleyes:

    ...I still have 48803 emails in my inbox and (keeping on topic) probably significantly less than 0.1% are spam! :eek:
