SOMEONE HAS PEED IN MY MAILBOX

Doc,
Everyone is subject to spam. Some people actually receive it others don't as it's blocked at various points in the spam mail's path. I don't get much in my inbox anymore but I've taken steps to block it. You Internet Service Provider (ISP) should be blocking the bulk of spam as 80% of it is easily detected. If you're getting more than 10 a day maybe it's time to switch ISP's. The rest of the more clever ones that get through you can deal with in various ways depending on what software your using on your computer. Outlook has some junk filtering capabilities and you antivirus software should as well. It's a never ending battle but with diligence, some reconfiguration of existing software and a good ISP you should be able to get rid of most.
You'll notice most times the spam messages about Viagra and Cialis are intentionally spelled wrong. This is because your ISP's filter is set to recognize keywords and filter them; this is a lame attempt to get through that.
Unfortunately, this is a long, very boring and "unmusical" topic which could thread on for weeks. If it becomes too much to bear email me the specifics and I'd be happy to help in any way I can. There are lots of very computer saavy folks here who can/will help.

Hi Docs,

I used get loads of the stuff.  The  last big money one i got, i sent the number of the Local Fraud squad back to them.

i never did hear from them again! Very strange as i had been left 25 million dollars and a small diamond goldmine,

The strangest ones i got was requesting me to have an extension done on my Manhood ?. 3 to 5 inches i was offered ?
I have now begun my  Quest For Authentic Manhood !

Very stange but enlightening  journey for this Old Doll.

Old Doll.

Doc,
you're not alone, I get it to.

The letter reads that the person or persons have millions of dollars, but can't get it and need for me to get it for them. They'll of course send me the check.

Have you received the one that says tht the person is in the military and he was part of a group that found millions in gold in Iraq, but he needs help getting back into the country.

I not only get the e-mails, but I get it in the regular mail as well.

It never stops coming.

Eagleeye I got that one last week it went straight to the garbage after I read it and had a laugh very creative these spam or should i say scam artist

RUSSELL & ALL OTHERS:
Can you believe that there are still people who actually respond such emails? They offer you 5.000.000$ and later "CRYING LIKE LITTLE BABIES". If that kind of spam would have RESPONSE they would have been disappeared a long time.
THIS PROVES AGAIN how GREEDY people are.
Here in Belgium we had a "world news" story. It started with " speaking and language" high tech software. In 2000 all this crashed. When they started to go public a share was let's say 2$ in 1996, 1 year later that same share was 20$ and it went up to 50$. I kinow people who invested 100.000$ to sell it later for 2.500.000$. Of course people who stepped in later, like 1999, paid already 30$ for a share. In stead of selling it at 50$ they waited AND THIS IS WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND: when the share started to drop a few banks were tellingf to BUY. But CAN YOU BELIEVE that people took a mortgage on their house??? only thinking about the profit they would make. RESULT  = a lot of people lost a fortune and often that money is not declared.
Being GREEDY is horrible.  About "investment advisers" they should be the richest people in the world but ARE THEY?

Doc,
It's not just greed, but it's people looking to get something for nothing, it's being gullible.
My wife fell for an ad. it said to notify people that they had money coming, and to let them know how much. First you paid to get in then they sent you an information sheet of people that had money comig and how much. All you had to do was send them the info and for a fee you'd do their paper work for them. Suffice to say she got no responses. She sent out several letters, so you take the cost of paper and stamps, it added up a little.

Then another is where, for a small fee, someone will send you a listing of jobs. She did that one too.

I stay supportive, but sometimes I have to jump in and  tell her it's a scam, and I have to stop her. We don't have the internet at home anymore. I use the computer at work.

i get the worst things ever, and i dont even know how... i get spam faxes. these actually cost you money too, you need to pay for all the peper and ink, we get between 2-5 everyday so its alot of paper. and if you take the paper out or turn the machine off they wont come untill the next time you turn it on, so it prints out 20 faxes rom the week and you have to sit ther and keep pressing cancel...
anyways
this is the one i got today:

Orlando!
3 days 2 nights in Daytona Beach and Ft. Lauderdale

*plus 3 day 2 night Bahamas cruise

all this for only $99 for the first 100 callers!

we got one for cancun too.

we normally get "asian stock reports"
my parents dont even know how stocks work...i dont know why we get them.

I am still convinced that
Greediness - an excessive desire for wealth (usually in large amounts) source online dictionary is the cause of all these victims.
You find them in all layers of population from dishwashers to lawyers (the last is 100% true).
Even having 100.000.000$ you want more, NO DISCUSSION possible.
THE SCAMMERS (who are greedy too) are aware of this fact and they will have at least ONE HIT on 100 mails. They are geniuses in "playing with your weaknesses", and I am always afraid to answer because the link can give them access to your private stuff on your PC. I've been a few times the only heir of a fortune after searching for some years, what about my brothers and sisters?
Why am I afraid? I did some great business on EBAY, having real good guitars and 100% correct and perfect. On a day I got 4 emails on another email account linked to eBay that I got a second chance for an item. STUPIDITY was my name, instead of checking first MY EBAY I mailed back "why me I am on the 6th place after the bidding was closed" to get a call from mastercard that I gambled in Australia, that I was in a hotel in France, and they told that they knew almost who did this, and without any fee or paying that amount I got a new card. RESPECT for that card company.

The Nigerian prince ruse where for a small fee up front you will have access to abandoned millions is called a 419 scam.  (419 is the Nigerian penal code for fraud)
not sure if this story linked below is true, but this is an amusing revenge scheme where the perpetrator is lured into rewriting Harry Potter on notebook paper.
