Should we list all the scams that have come our way?
1. "Your P-pal a/c as been suspended...."
2. "Update your p-pal information..."
3. "Re: Your classified ad about your F-150", which actually was legit. This guy wanted to send me $20,000 for a 20 year old half-ton and I was to send him back the difference, ie. $15,000.
4. Bounced email because of it contained a virus. I did not send this email.
5. Repeating, ie. 4 & 5 consecutive blank emails from "hotmail" types addresses, with no subject or content.
6. "Update your information..." in a site where your e-bizness is listed, may be a scam. The site of the listing is legit but some low-life has phished your email address.
I could go on but you get the idea. Murphy's Law still live and well.
