    Everyone stopped using plastic tools after discovering that a metal hammer is more effective than a plastic one.

    I think that's the indication of a scam.

    This sounds just like another variation of the old spanish prisoner scam, which was also the Nigerian email scam. "Hello I am XXXX, please help me and I will give you $$$$$. Have a nice day!"

    Thanks for the heads up mate but that's just a run-of-the-mill spam.

    Dodgy Yahoo email and some of it in CAPS. It's the classic M.O mate.

    Me and my buddy bonzer get at least 3 or 4 a day into our shared business email account.

    The one we get most of is "Medhelp" or "FDA Online Pharmacist"

    Damn we get f*cking hundreds of them in our spam box every week.

    Seems like every fook is at it these days LMAO!

    These are also dodgy. It's called trying too hard to assimilate English. ;)

    its more like youre washing money for others, and i got this kind of spam since 3 years or so.
    some ppl stealing money from hijacked online bank accounts, paypal or whatever, transfer the money to your account and you transfer it to someone else or this non-existing company.
    if the police or bank investigates whats happens to the money, then youre number one on the list and can (and probably will) end up in jail.

    Most of the crap is filtered out, yet we still like to keep our spam box clean.

    I think it's the "Hooray, no spam here" in our Gmail account that we like. :D

    LOL @ this too, we have a blog and we moderate the comments. One of the topics in our blog was "95% of all emails are spam" or something like that.
    Anyway, we even had people posting spam comments to that article too lol.

    Spam is the scourge of the net these days and most of it is so lame ass. After a few years of seeing it all the time one builds an immunity to it. You see it, but the brain doesn't recognise it, if you see what I mean.

    these spammers will never stop!
    i have declared them spam and blocked these ids, but nothing worked, finally am trying to ignore them, and that's the best way to fight them!

    What really stinks is how much they get through even with having the filters turned on.
