I'd wish people would use common sense in any of these email scams.
Bill Gates and anyone else wealthy gives money to chartible causes NOT everyday people through emails. Gosh, there are allot of gullible people out there in this world. Also loads of people spamming and clogging email in boxes.
My response to these kind of emails sent to me by friends, I reply back individually asking them politely to take me off their "group emails". If that doesnt work, I put a block on cc: from those individuals, they go right to the spam file.
I let a friend today know I wasnt happy getting this stupid email.
