New Spam alert

[Asiel]

Thanks for the warning Karen, guess the scams will never stop.

This scam has been around awhile, I have heard of it before. If I got one my first question would be "Why are you contacting ME? Where's your family?" Those should be the first person anyone would ask for help..

Scams are totally wrong. But, I can't really believe someone would fall for something like that!!!!!

My spam mailbox is filled with them daily. I'd be a multi-millionaire hundreds of times over if they were real. Someone needs to shut Nigeria down since that's where the majority originate. Can't believe anyone with half a brain could fall for any of them, but they must, since the scammers are still in business.

Hi Karen
If I can add to your important warning, I got an e-mail yesterday telling me that the United Parcel Service has a package for me then goes on about sending $3,000 so the person could hire an attorney to have over $2 million released to me and several others. Right from the start of the message I knew something was wrong.
Right now I'm not sure if I should contact our local police, UPS security, or ignore it and let it go. I have no intention of responding to this.

Please everyone, be very careful and don't fall for these scams!

I'm going to go update my mail server's spam filters.

I once read a statistic that 90% of all email sent today is spam. After running my own mail server for a few years now, I certainly believe that.

Hmm... I think this is the article that I read: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10249172-83.html

Just let that one go. I have gotten that one, and ones like it for UPS, USPS, Fedex - even DSL - for years. And sometimes I get them telling me the info is in the attachment - which is most likely a virus, trojan horse, or some other bit of nastiness - I'll never know as I delete them.

Thanks, Karen. I got one like this at work once and told my supervisor. He reported it to our security and it hasn't happened since. Our computer at home is a different story and I honestly didn't know what to do. This one gets the delete button.
