Money is the root of all evil ... money, money, money.

Someone, somewhere is always thinking how to get that money

Probably would want a little loan to cover expenses that he would 'pay right back' if you respond to him.

Warning. Do not reply these kinds of mails.


explanation:

http://www.mailsiread.com/2007/09/my...t-william.html

They either want to penetrate your system, or want to sell your email adress. Your email adress is much more worth when it has been confirmed to be actove, and the owner checking the email box, that'S why they want you to confirm something, anything, no matter what.

We should set up a false e-mail and bait these scammers. Getting a picture with one holding a sign saying "Pwned By Subsim" is an attractive venture.

The problem is they may send you a nasty virus if you p-off these people.

Read and delete and if they have an attachment delete without reading.

I routinely scan everything that comes through my e-mail anyway, would do the same with the baiting one. Anyone interested in helping?
