I never open emails from someone I don't know or companies. Even from places I subscribe to in many cases. I also use "view source" in my email to see if the email is legit. Even then I will go online to the actual source...that is if it's from some place I've subscribed to. Best thing is to not open emails from people you don't know...I'm surprised people still do this.

I still love the ones that tell me my Blizzard WOW account has been changed.

Never had one, never will.

Amazing that. You get something out of nowhere and some people just naturally go for it. No questions asked, no thought given to what it might actually be. Gullible, thy name is Joe Shmoe.

Yes, I have received 5 notices in two day that a package is being delivered by UPS.  They are in  bulk mail folder.   They are fake.  But i'm am sure a virus is attached somewhere were i to 'look.'   Its like, between the nigerians Scams, plain old junk e-mail, and bugs, its getting to be a full time job just to take the e-trash out.  LOL.

Some people are funny. They say they don't use a card online. However when you purchase something at your local market you info goes over the net to your bank and back. Just something to think about.

At one point I got SO fed up with spam that I started replying FFFUUUUUUUUUUUU*you know the rest*          Ofcourse....that just gotted me MORE spam (but atleast it FELT good! )

 

I remember an article about a spammer that sended 500.000 spammails a day that got killed a few years ago. I was like: "Good! Hope the bastard suffered!!"

 

Also gotted a nigerian letter a few days ago....I'm tempted to reply back with false information but I'm afraid they may turn that against me.

Or I reply but attach some nasty code....may get lucky....

Oh just delete it and move on.  They don't deserve any more attention or energy than just clicking on the delete button, and all at once at that.  Feathers in the wind.

There is that. Send a virus get one back in return. Do that from a virtual desktop so it can't infect your machine. But make the one you send ten times more virulent. That'll make 'em sit up and think twice.

campaigner, the nastiest thing you can do to the nigerians is to take copies of  the emails into you local cop shop and ask them to pass it on to the international fraud unit, anything else and you will start getting even MORE o the blasted junk.

Any scam mail I get gets reported to the proper authorities...it's just become a habit now. Whether anything actually gets done is anyone's guess...but I do it anyway.
