Even my powers have their limits

These scammers are unstoppable, unfortunately... I've had to stop using several email addresses because they got clogged with shit like this...


Posted by UWM on Oct-02-2004 16:19:

I got one of these type of emails too, it immediately went in my trash bin. I don't know how anyone got that email address though because only like 5-6 people know of it.

It's strange. At one point I had 2 emails, one of which I used only for highly important stuff and kept it a secret otherwise, and another that I used in public (messageboards etc.). Now, the public address never got a single spam but the private one got completely clogged with trash. I actually feel my ISP sold the address (with loads of others) to a spamming list...

I got Comcast last November. My parents are still (as sad as it is) signed-up for AOL, so they can keep getting their e-mail in that account. Not once has anybody used the Comcast e-mail account, as I'm the only one who knows the password. There's been spam pouring into it from the first day.

They use random-address generators. Then sooner or later one of the mails doesn't bounce back, and BOOM! Say hello to mr. Spam.

ok so seriously, is this fake?


Posted by DJ Cinos on Oct-05-2004 12:50:

Yes, yes, yes, IT IS FAKE! Do not reply with any personal details. How many lottery firms with that kind of money have their email on EXCITE? How many of them miserably fail in grammar?

At the very most, send a "fuck off, bitch", and sign it with your first name. (assuming "mrs patricia morgan" really is a female)


Posted by loca on Oct-05-2004 13:43:

It's fake! Do not under any circumstances send your personal details to this company. As people already pointed out, the excite email address in itself should give you a clue.
I got the same type of letter by mail before, from Spain and Holland. Pure bullshit


Posted by Haunted on Oct-05-2004 18:33:

what's the worst that can happen?


Posted by DJ_Bod on Oct-05-2004 18:35:

steal your personal info...
get a bunch of spam...

I say its fake because the "form" is so terrible, grammatically, that it just has to be fraudulant.
