Default I am sick of SPAMMERS!

In the last 2 weeks ive gotten over 6 emails most come from Nigeria! All claiming im about to be a rich. So much for my spam filter! If it aint about blardy viagra :rotfl: its about recieving lots of cash.

Just recieved this one

Dear friend,

I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Paraguay. It's really been quite a long time.

Presently i'm in Paraguay for investment projects with my own share of the total sum. Meanwhile,i didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in
transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.

Now contact my secretary in COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC. His name is PRINCE CHRISTIAN BROWN on xxxxxxxxxx.com . Phone: 00229 970 623 75.

Ask him to send you the total of $800,000.00 which i kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter. I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. So feel free and get in touched with my secretary and instruct him where to send the amount to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the sufferness at that time. In the moment, I’m very busy here because of the investment projects which me and the new partner are having at hand.

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with Prince Christian, he will send the amount to you without any delay.

Regards,
MR. ROWLAND WILLIAMS.

Buggar!

But does any anti-spam programs actually block them or are they just put in another folder for you to delete later?

I get about 50 a day. Rediculous to say the least. And don't you have to manually say which ones you want to block? It's not automatically going to know is it?

So it ends up being a lot of work continuously sorting thru good from bad. A pain to say the least.
