I've had that E-mail as well - about a year ago. Definately a 'hmm, this is a bit dodgy - delete!' moment!

I concidered reporting it, but wasn't sure who to report it too...

For some reason I keep getting emails from different addresses but all titled 'CNN top 10'

Its a shame that I can't tell Live Mail to delete all messages with that subject.

Ugh I keep getting the same ones. I get like 5 a day it seems.

havent been hit wit that bombshell yet...
I rarely ever get any spam but when I do, they're always fun to read.

I get about 300 of these a day...

My email address is a whore.

I really need to change emails soon, I use my main one (admin at sovgaming) and I get about 30 spam mails a day

Yeah, I have noticed that. Except Hotmail, although I have recieved an email marked as phishing, dressed up as MSNBC. Someone must be brave, trying to pose as the mighty Microsoft, in trying to spam us. Although I haven't recieved any through Gmail.

LOL!!!! I wonder what the qualifications of becoming a 'scammer' are because scammers are terrible at their job......lol. Now the 8 year kid that walked around the neighbor hood once a month knocking on doors asking for money because his mother was sick, then we get a call from the cops asking if we gave him money, my mom said no why, and the cop said his mothers been dead since he was 7 lol. THAT KIDS A PRO!!! I wonder how much money he made...lol

Any ways all email scammers could use a lesson or two from any 8 year old on the street.... atleast thats my opinion lol

-Kevin
Edit: just my attempt at comedy, or atleast my attempt to amuse myself, when ever i get an email like that I spend hours coming up with an equally terrible scam to send back to them lol, either that or I just send them the same email with my name signed...lol

When a telemarketor calls me and starts asking questions i turn it around so im asking them the questions, my record for keeping one on the phone was 3 hours.... i got bored so hung up lol

My hotmail account is being spamed by PAYPAL (fake) telling me my paypal account being canceled... scares me a little, i just don't open them

I've been getting phone calls on my cell phone about the second warning on my car insurance or something, at the end of the automatic message it says I can talk to a representative, so i did cause I've gotten my second warning about 8 times now...The lady picks up on the other end and I'm like "I don't know why I'm getting these calls cause I don't even have car." She just hung up on me...
