Re: !macS nairegiN

I got a letter from a mother recently.....

Quote:

Greetings,

I am Mrs. Brandy Ritts I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have
to you. I am 59 years old; 2 years ago I was diagnosed for cancer, immediately
after the death of my husband Mr. Peter Gregory Ritts, who has left me
everything he worked for while in America.

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late
husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use
my husband's hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the good Lord forgive
me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because He is a
merciful God. I will be going in for the cancer operation any moment from now.

I decided to WILL/donate an amount that will be disclosed to you later for the
good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and
also for the assistance of the widows.

At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that
my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my
representative is aware I have changed my will and he will arrange the transfer
of the funds to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you
abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to
others.

Contact my representative who is in person of Mr. Mark Johnson with this
specified email; infomarkj@netscape.net and inform him that I have briefed you
about the Will and he will inform you of the amount I am willing to you for the
good work. I know I dont know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks
and God bless.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And
Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my relation or
anybody to know because they are always around me.

Regards,

Mrs. Brandy Ritts.

Well, a mother something, anyway.....

Hmm.... anyone feel like baiting a scam artist?

Re: !macS nairegiN

I wouldn't bother. You'd probably just attract spam.

Re: !macS nairegiN

I maintain four different e-mail accounts. That one is specifically for catching spam (actually, I dragged that out of the Junk-mail folder....)

Re: !macS nairegiN

My school address, which is NEVER posted on any sites or used for any sites, gets about 8 spam messages a day. Odd how something that's never been used on the internet except to e-mail other accounts gets spammed.

Re: !macS nairegiN

Now a cynical man might say somone at the school or the IT supplier to the school has flogged off all the email addys to spammers ala Hotmail.

As I am a cynical man that's what I suggest. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

The Great E-mail harvest!

... or someone is sniffing passing packets for e-mail addresses, or someone who shouldn't have got their hands on the school directory, or someone felt like annoying you one day, or someone signed you up for some kind of offer, or someone's sniffing packets sent on a wireless network (as above, but don't need to have access to the equipment that's handling the packets - ever sent an e-mail to someone who has a home wireless network?), or someone got hold of the algorythm that generates the school's e-mail address (not usually difficult; commonly [first initial][middle initial][first X characters of last name]@[School'sDomain]) and plugged a name list through it, or....

There's actually a great many ways to get someone's e-mail address; it's even easier if you don't really care who's e-mail address you get.
