    Today I have received an email from a random email address as I quoted below. Many people who are not that much familiar internet user may easily caught by this type of fishing emails. We have to aware our relatives and friends to be careful about this type of emails.

    If you also have got any kind of fishing emails I request you to post those here so people will be aware about the various methods of fishing.

    All of this kind of spam is so easily detected by their horrible grammar and punctuation.

    I usually mail them back threatening to have my husband (an Internet Lawyer) sue them.
