The sad thing is that some people will actually fall for that. Not many, I hope.

I receive this type of e- mails at least 5 times per week for the last 10 +++ years. As far as I can tell , I am now the richest man on earth what with my inheritances, gifts, and helping a banker to transfer millions into my account. But alas, all SCAMS.

jack you might want to write back to them and let them know their grammar and composition needs some improvement.

they almost had me at welcome.....

 

[aftermidnight]

Yep, they never give up. I get at least one or two a year from revenue department stating they owe me money, just type in your pertinent information and a check will be in the mail or from some bank I don't deal with. Unfortunately some poor souls fall for these scams. Come to think of it I haven't had one in awhile, have they given up on me ?

They come to my spam catcher account: Ben Dover
I turn them over to spamcop.com and reply with something nasty and end it with Ben Dover.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Ben Dover!

The most recent and persistent has been email attachments. Never open these, even use caution when they come from people you know. Hacking email accounts, getting contact info ... there you go ... my barber supposedly sent me something not long ago.

A clue is that so often they are sent to me by the nom de plume I use in an email address. I'm not being especially clever with that, just using a location with my name. Someone in Nigeria or Belarus hasn't a clue that "house" or "garden" might not be a name, apparently.

The mobile devices I use each have a mailer app. It's tedious to sort through each one of them because they are not clever and put nothing in spam.

Don't forget you bank account number and SS#. Oh boy are you lucky.I wonder how long before you get the money.

Have you gotten the call from the IRS to send them money before they bring you to court?

 

[jackb]

Actually, I do not receive a lot of spam at my personal email account. I have several throw away accounts that I use when I must give an email address to access a site. Accounts like: Ben Dover, Rick O'Shea and Paul Bearer. They get a lot of spam, which I mostly ignore. As for telemarketers, we received so many calls I installed a system to handle them. It automatically blocks: unknown, private, out of area and so on. Unless you are on our approved list, it will not let you through unless you dial 0, hang up and call back. At that time I can elect not to answer the call. Telemarketers are mostly on automatic systems and can't do that. We have had this system for more than a year now, and in that time not a single call has gotten past it. It stops phony surveys, political calls, phony cop funds all the junk the DNC list allows, and on and on. It holds 9,999 numbers, but I only reject persistent callers. How I love technology!
