Who Gets Bank and/or Debt Junk Mail?

[Fear The Paw]

I've had some wierd stuff in the past three months like.
1.Would you l like A share in this stollen money from a foren bank account in the UK? (I felt like responding but I forgot to respond to the message because I am very forgetfull)
2.You owe us some money to some credittors iv'e never heard from before in Nijeria (Probably just some tennagers just taking atvantage of people)
I Never see these emails because they are in my junk mail folder I just look if I am bored.

If you ever get a "Help me, someone i know died and left me money" e-mail from someone claiming to be from the country of NIgeria, DO NOT REPLY! They want your bank account number to wipe you out. "Nigeria" is a code word they use to keep track of the thousands of scams going on at once.

I get alot of fraud emails. I get people sending me e-mails on stationary used by big online companies(PayPal, Microsoft Network, America Online, ect.) The PayPal ones try to make me open a non-existand paypal account, so they can swipe the mony within. The Microsoft ones contain viruses disguised as Microsoft updates.

I respond usually with some "nice" and "friendly" comments

They actually pulled that off on my grandmother sending her a check and when she deposited it was fraud and so they got her account number and she had to close the account immediately.

I get stuff like that occasionally. Mostly about a millionare in Africa wanting to 'share' his money with me. Something like that. I never read one carefully enough to get the whole storie down.

I don't have a bank account. How can I wire money to complete strangers? lol

I get fishing scams related to PayPal too. I don't have a PayPal account.

I also get weird emails about a strange international lottery I never heard about.

Bye

Been there, done that. Then there are the viagra offers, viruses disguised as Microsoft products, and the dating services. It never ends...

Hey, don't diss the Viagra offers, Viagra saved my marriage. Wait... no, I'm not married.

:knowdees: :badnews: :squash:



*hyperventilates and passes out on the ground* Yeah... I remember my first toy sailboat, she was a doozy. Batten the hatches, Mr. Red Beard! O.o *dies*



Ehem, but moving back on topic...

I just don't check my inbox anymore unless it's my gmail account.

Viagra is fine and dandy when they actually plan on sending it to you, Pnt!
