SubscribeAnother scam e-mail busting day!
Posted on Sep 24, 2008 under Scam E-mails Received |Okay, I had enough of these scam e-mails. Just few days ago I made a post about one of the few that I got which doesn’t surprise me at all. Hey, it’s rather entertaining! Perhaps I should put a special category intended for them here in my blog just so people who are still unaware of it will in one way or another be able to learn that there is such a thing as “scam e-mails”.
Believe it or not, this time and age some people still do fall for this kind of MO. Well, guess what? Just today I got another one on my Yahoo! It seems as if it’s a favorite place for these scammers to spread the scam love. I guess some users are vulnerable to it as Yahoo has a lot of users. Anyway, let me post the e-mail here and tell me it sounds convincing! LOL! Well, excuse me whoever sent this. Besides a few of the grammatical errors that are common in scam e-mails, your e-mail address doesn’t look professional at all and I know from there and then that this is something fishy before I even started reading the entire message. So, you’re so busted!
