I'm sure we all get them, i know i do in all my old emails. I got bored and decided to check my ancient email.. and this might have to the stupidest one of them all...was the one which says im the son of a rich of some dude in some random country.

my Yahoo and hotmail accounts get those types of e-mails every weeks. I think only like 1% of millions of people fall for these scams. I sometimes read them. But, they're all about the same.

Gmail seems to be doing better with filtering out these type of scam e-mail.

well my hotmail filtered it as well, it's just my Yahoo that doesn't do it. I still get one or two in my gmail account but those are like pay pal scams.


and yes let's send them manure since they give us an address.

I've had loads of scam emails. I read the ones without attachments, then delete them. I once read one with an attachment and it infected my PC ;_;
