Gary Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 ....Send hoax and chain letter emails on to others in our address books. Have we not received enough now to stop us doing it? It is so easy to check on the internet if something is a hoax or not. This is the latest one doing the rounds about Bill gates sharing his fortune - as if! http://www.sophos.com/security/hoaxes/billgates2.html If you receive a circular email offering the chance of something for nothing it really is too good to be true - just press delete and save our email boxes!

Bill Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I must'nt be on anyone's buddy list because I never get chain emails I do get one of these though every two weeks and have done for the last couple of years. It really pees me off that blatent attempts at identity theft like this are allowed to continue unchecked. ------------------------------------------- Dear NatWest bank customer, Security and confidentiality are at the heart of Natwest Bankline.

Gary Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 You only get one every two weeks - I get about 10 a day!! The amazing thing is that if you actually respond to try and track down these criminals they never get back in touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirgle Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 It seems that some of them do reply. I've been reading through the stories of 'scambaiting' at 419eater for a few days now. This one has to be my favourite so far: http://419eater.com/html/bigman.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
