Do you get annoying e-mails like these?

    Take a look. It appears that these guys would like to "help" me make $$$ online, but apparently they're the ones who don't make any money online.

    I also posted about this on my blog.

    Well at least these aren't as bad as those "You won the lottery, claim your $1,000,000 now!" when in fact you haven't entered the lottery... :rolleyes:

    Do you get annoying e-mails like these?

    Is your email published anywhere on the web? I always use an email encoder to I don't get any spam on my email address.

    Yeah. xD What quite made me laugh was this: Yes! A lot of people do not have Credit Cards and that truly saddens my heart because in this digital empowered world, credit cards are a must

    Oh, so it saddens his heart, eh?

    No. That surprised me actually. I think they're visitors of my blog who decided to "turn their back on me" and "scam me". :p

    Well, I don't really mark them as spam at once because the spammers use the contact form on my blog. I'm being misled that they're readers who have questions, thus I end up reading their mails. :D

    I've never got those emails or if I did, must have been already deleted before I opened it as I knew it was spam already.

    I dont get those. I often get a little homeless russian girl asking for $1000 though. Sometimes her mother emails too. Amazing how they have no home and no food yet they can type emails in English :D

    I get a lot of emails like that, I just delete them straight away - sometimes I don't open it.

    The sad thing about these types of emails is that someone, somewhere believes it.
