Depending on what you're using to read your email, MailWasher might be helpful. It works along-side Outlook, Eudora, The Bat, or any other email software, and can send a fake "bounce" back to the spammer to make them think your email address is invalid. Free software, too.\n\nhttp://www.mailwasher.net/\n\nHere is some additional reading on the "Nigeria Scam". Sometimes it definitely pays to be informed...

Classic Examples of SPAM and FRAUD .. Dont ever fall for them ...\n\n\n...\n\nMy Nigerian Penpal\nIf you're the average email user in the modern world, you get an occasional solicitation from Nigerian con artists. Generally, I just hit delete (if my spam filters didn't already catch it, that is). However, it occurred to me, after reading some of the funnier close encounters (see here and here) with these geeks, that one of the best things we can do to stop them is simply to reply and waste their time. [UPDATE: Check out this page; these guys are brilliant!]\n\nUnlike most other spammers, the Nigerian con men provide you with their real return address. They want you to contact them. How unfortunate if, while replying, you accidently sign them up for other spam and mailing lists along the way. When they have to sift through 200 or 300 emails a day looking for actual responses to their requests, and out of those responses 99% are fake, they will get frustrated and give up. At least, that's the theory. Read on.

YES, it is real I think. It's called SPAM which is against the law unless if receiver have requested  and agree to receive unsolicited email/newsletters or receiver may ask you to pay up to $5 per email  by federal law.

If its one of those letters that promises something if it gets sent to so many people then yes its a scam.  They also usually say its a marketing campaign and give a persons name and phone or e-mail address to verify it.  There all scams.  Sorry

Are you sure you didn't accidentally answer a phish email that looked legit?  Many of the phoney ebay and paypal emails now look so real that many have been duped into giving info they don't remember giving.

Never heard of them. If you got an email requesting personal details then delete the mail, its a very common scam. You haven't won anything and your long lost dead relative didn't leave you lots of money!!

Thank you for the warning - these kinds of scam mails are flooding everyones mailboxes and I think that they contain one or more Viruses or Trojans or Spyware or Tracking cookies which transmit what you write in reply to the senders and then .... BANG - you or your PC or your bank account are done for - at least thats what I think - and so the best way is to religiously delete or mark the thing as spam without replying to it. They got your email IDs by tracking cookies on your computer or from a search of the internet using an iterative program

Yes, live and learn.\n\nI have one Email address that I use only to contact tech support at my computer manufacturer. I never get anything else there.\n\nI have another Email address that I sign up for Google news alerts and other interests. That one gets plenty of spam.\n\nI have another Email address that I sometimes use to email other Yahoo members, it hasn't gotten hit with spam too bad yet. However, I am prepared to abandon my Email accounts like used underwear if ever the spam-lords get too heavy.

OH MY GOSH YES SIR I DO!!  Depending on the mood I am in I either play along, so far as to sound eager and very willing!! or, I will suggest that they use the money to educate the people that work for them!! Most of the emails I have received, the spelling has been horrendous, or not that I can really talk, their grammar and punctuation is lacking!!  Then their are the days where I just check the box, and hit the spam button!!  What I wonder is, do they just mail them out to all of us?, or do they "hmmmm, this persons name is Sue Smith, I bet she would love to be involved in an illegal scam!! Let's give her a shout!"  Have a great day all!

Yeah.\nI get that one sometimes too.\nAlong with lots of others 'FROM THE DESK OF' some dickhead in Nigeria.\n\nI've heard that several people have fallen for these scams, and have lost lots of money. I think these scam senders are the scurge of the earth. I now receive about 100 spam e-mails per day. It must be big business. I do wish there weren't so many gullible people in the world, but then most people fall for government scams too, like 9/11 and 7/7.\nI wonder when the world will wake up, if ever.
