2. Such ATM CARD coming from African /Europe/Asia is been verified by the POSTAL INSPECTION SERVICE which we have directed our inspection team to proceed
with the verification to ascertain the authenticity of the ATM CARD and now after all the verification on the Parcel/ATM CARD, having contacted the issuing
institution who made it known to our office that the ATM CARD is a Genuine one and Not ILLEGALLY ACQUIRED. We have also forwarded the Serial Number of the
ATM CARD to the U.S, Treasury Department and they confirmed that the CARD is Authentic and ready to be cashed at any ATM MACHINES.

up the Origin of Fund. This is in line with the Anti-Terrorist Campaign which the USA Government has embarked on recently to protect our Territory from
future attacks. You should therefore contact the sender of the ATM CARD or the DHL Courier Agent in LOndon,England to get the Sworn Affidavit for you while
we wait to receive from you the Affidavit File Number to enable us forward your ATM CARD to your address.

I meant to ask everyone - do you still get spam? At all or some or none of your email addresses? At which ones do you receive spam?
I receive a good amount at an old hotmail account, but hardly any (2-3 a year) at my gmail account. Of course, that could be because I try to limit who actually has my gmail account.
I like how they tell you not to hesitate to remit that money to him, after all its only $98...I also like how they reference the USA government...but overall i found it to be more confusing than anything and I think wasting $98 is well worth the possible 1.5 million payout...but thats just me
Oh and I get spam in waves on both my yahoo and gmail accounts. I wont get any for months at a time, and then i'll start to get 5 to 20 each time i check it, but then they both seem to be pretty good at filtering it out b/c it always seems to subside within a couple of weeks and goes back to normal
i don't get too much spam - the filters have gotten a lot better. also, good luck on not passing along your gmail address. the address books collect more contacts than an optometrist (zing!). which is good though - remember having to manually add contacts all the time?
where spam still lives a more legitimate life is on craigslist. i have sold many things on that site, and i always get creeped out when someone specifically has seen my post and taken the time to try to scam me personally. there are some great sites out there that try to scam the scammers. i had replied to a scammer and told him to contact me through my business email, and then put in top ranking guy in the local IRS branch. i chickened out last minute and discarded. damn!
Kev, that's a great idea. Follow through with that, follow through!
Good to be back to TLATL. As for spam, I get a ton. I keep two email addresses, my yahoo one is what I give to businesses when they insist on it, my gmail one for friends or colleages. However, I've had to recently give out my gmail address in a flurry due to lots of changes going on so I wouldn't lose something to yahoo. The result: over 230 spam messages in December alone to my gmail account, when I hardly ever got any before.
Not quite the 2-3 a year that Roller boasts, but maybe 30-50 a month.
Wouldn't mind seeing a post on cell phone plans, or cell phones themselves.
I just got the exact same email, googled the phone number & found your post...
I get a fair amount of spam on my Yahoo account but not near as much as I used to. 10 to 15 a day maybe. I'm on it so much that I clear it out regularly so it never gets up to more than 2 or 3.
But some spam are funny, like the one posted here. I just got one I had to share. I didn't even open. Just read the subject line:
"RE: Haven't heard from you in a while, let's bang soon!"
What makes you so sure that was spam?
I guess I can't be sure. I have to admit though I don't remember the first part of the subject line. The second part sure caught my attention.
Another funny thing is that all of roller, ryan and matt's posts as well as all the comments go to my inbox. Yet for some reason all my posts and comments go into the spam folder.
It happened again . . .
And again--I'm done now.
