Scam Artist

[Robert Cragg]

Just a warning most people have probally seen these, but incase you have not.
There is alot of scams coming through the E-mail. Here is part of one I got.
Someone wrote from Johannesburg, South Africa they discribe bad things happening and that they have $15 million in US funds they will send me 30 0/0 and they will keep 70 0/0 for themselves all I have to do is send them the bank or business info they need to send me the money. Then you need to go to a different E-Mail address to get the rest of the info. I pray no one falls for this, they end up draing your bank account.

My question is how do they get your e-mail address in the first place?

I get these emails all the time!! I had like 7 of them in my junk box just today!! Some of them are lotteries and others claim to be missionaries!! I just delete.

Heard they pay for email addresses.

How to stop it... when you send one... send to self and put all others in the BCC area.

It just breaks my heart. I left South Africa a year ago because of what is happening there. It is so sad that people try and fraud and make money out of others and use what is happening in South Africa as an excuse!:tsk. Watch out, and may God protect all of you! (luckily not all us South African's are bad.:aha)

Wow, I never got any of those emails. That's interesting. But I do have aol and I have a spam folder that handles all that.

[Solo Fide]

Yea, come to think of it my aol account never does get those! They all end up in my msn hotmail junk box.

99% of the time my junk email's go into my spam folder and I regularly check it cause I've gotten legitment email's put in my spam folder. I always delete spam without opening them.
