    For a while I kept receiving emails here at work from someone that is lonely and has nude pictures online that they'd like me to look at. Luckily they do not come through any longer. And my home email never receives spam. My brother has it set up that way. Sure I probably do not receive some legit emails sometimes, but oh well.
    Most of the time if I do see an email (work or home) that I do not recognize the sender I won't even read it. I just delete it immediately. But at work I use the preview pane so sometimes I see them. Or I should say...saw them, when they used to come through.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I have a lot of ex's, ex husband, ex boyfriends but I don't want to be bothered with them anymore, that's why they are my ex's so no I wouldn't bother with this kind of spam.

    The amazing thing is, if there not people out there who fall them, the spammers would go out of business, and that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon! There are many drugs I would not have even heard of if it were not for spam, so I guess if I ever go bald, or change genders unexpectedly, I'll know what drugs to ask for, I guess! And I love the "lose weight today" emails - like they could a) tell my weight and b) tell me anything my doc has not already said ... but seeing as it seems every women's magazine has a weight loss headline at the checkout stand, I guess people are buying those, too! And unlike those magazines, at least the spammers cannot assault me with perfume cards tucked inside!

    Lately I've been getting spam saying a 'customer complained to the BBB about me'. I don't even have a business! I chuckle when I delete those.

    The first one of those I got gave me pause for a half-second, then I looked at the headers ... and realized it came to an email address that doesn't even include my name, I think it was to "help" at one of the domain names, not either myself or Paul!

    I got a couple of good ones yesterday that gave me a good laugh.

    They were from the IRS, informing me that I had missed the filing deadline of January 31st, for filing my Federal Taxes, and I could be subject to a fine of up to $10,000. Of course there was a link I had to go to to provide them with all kinds of info - probably wanted my social security # for starters!!! Hmmm - wonder why I was never notified of the change in the filing date??

    Wouldn't you think these moron scamers would do their homework and get their facts straight before they put crap like this out there, and make themselves look even more stupid than they actually are??

    They don't need to worry about little concerns like "facts".. There are plenty of people out there even stupider than they are who fall for this crap.

    It wasn't really the IRS - just another scam. Besides that, my email address is not "undisclosed recipients".

    There was an article on tax scams on Yahoo yesterday. Bottom line: the IRS never uses email.

    Of course they don't, and all of us intelligent PTers know that. What blows my mind, is all the people that fall for these scams.
