  • all the mail going around at the moment telling you if you let them use your bank account then they will give you half of the millions they have.
  • Adverts for Viagra & penis extensions. (Or is that just me...)

  • See http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2s_home.shtml and it's links for full-fledged examples of Scams, Infomercial stuff, and Spam, including some of those little ones that ask you to link to a non-defined site (999.999.999.999). Most, if not all of them try to load Malware on your computer. (see the link on the above page for what Malware is, too.) You have just won thousands or millions of dollars in a lottery you never entered. You have the correct last name of someone overseas who has died with thousands or millions of dollars left in a bank account none of their family knew about. Someone overseas needs someone (you) to accept transfer of thousands or millions of dollars to an account, and (usually) send them a few hundred or thousand so they can escape somewhere. (Usually from Nigeria or tied through the UK, though China's been added recently). (ACTUALLY, ANYTHING from Nigeria, probably!) There are many more listed above. Check it out.
  • RULES FOR E-MAIL 1. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SENDER, PUT A CHECK MARK IN BOX AND MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE 2. IF THERE IS NOTHING IN THE SUBJECT AREA, AGAIN PUT A CHECK MARK IN THE BOX AND MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE. 3. IF YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL AND THE MESSAGE AREA THE IS ONLY AN ATTACHMENT, AGAIN CHECK MARK IN THE BOX AND MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE. THESE ARE THE MOST COMMON WAYS FOR SPAMMERS TO SEND VIRUS AND SPYWARE THOUGH THE E-MAIL SYSTEM. ANOTHER THING IS IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, CHANCES ARE IT IS! MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE. THERE IS A WEB SITE THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT MOST E-MAILS THAT KEEP SHOWING UP OVER AND OVER TO SEE IF THEY ARE TRUE. http://www.snopes.com also called the urban legends site.
