Donkey, you've just won £5,500,000!!!!!!! :good:






:dry:

Thanks for warning us though! I don't think that an e-mail of such 'great importance' would have so many grammatical errors!!

 

[donkey42]

Donkey, you've just won £5,500,000!!!!!!! :good:

yeah, right

:dry:

Thanks for warning us though!

np, just keep an eye on your inbox

I get hundreds of these. Fortunately GMail catches 99.9% of them.

"Probable" con? Hah, dead-certain con.

For some reason, my yahoo account gets completely deluged by these. I get like 5 or more different varieties of these per day. The spam catcher in yahoo is decent but not the greatest, so still have to delete one or two usually.

I don't get it. How did my address become such a target for these stupid things. It happened very suddenly, too. One time I got a single one of those, from an African politician or whatever (lol). So to screw around, I replied to the email with something abusive. I put something like STFU and something else -- I don't remember -- in there. I thought it was funny. And then the next day, all these email cons started coming. Several of them per day, like I said. And they've never stopped since. Geez...

Did the person at the other end who received my reply decide to do that to me because of my reply??

I think when you reply to spam, it confirms that it's a real address, and your email addy gets added to lists or something. Can't remember where I read it :D

Maybe that version is outdated? Have you looked into upgrading? Do you have automatic updates enabled? :P

I think it's harder to have a sense of humor over the internet... you can't add a sarcastic voice (I use :dry: instead) or show body language.
