Geeeeeeez.....(veins popping) don’t open this kind of stuff. Just mark it as spam and NEVER OPEN ANYTHING FROM ANYONE that you don’t initiate. NEVER. My mom is 80 years old and it takes a lot of “mothering” to stop her from clicking on stuff. The laptop I bought her has kept her sane, I think:)
These guys are throwing out bait and you are swallowing. Hook, Line, and Sinker.
You’re gonna give me gray hair....What little I have left.
Why would they ask for your password? If it was MSN they already know it! If you replied with your password, change it NOW.
It’s a scam.
HA!
You think I'm going to fall for that again?
Last time you only sent $750,000.00.
Nice try though.
It had an attachment supposed to be my label number but I did not open it. I printed it out and took it to the post office and they told me they had no idea what that was all about and that they don't send those types of E mail. If you miss a parcel they put a notice in your mailbox and do not E mail anyone. One lady in line told me her friend opened it and it was a virus. There seems to be no end to trouble makers.
It’s not real unless it’s signed by the Nigerian Oil Minister.
Click on ‘view’ and then click ‘message headers’ to see where the email originated. Copy the header info and forward the email and the message headers to MSN or Hotmail.
Short of that, there should be an option to report the email to MSN or Hotmail. Right click the checkbox next to the email and you should get that menu.
If they don’t ask for your Social Security number, I wouldn’t respond.
this is hugh and series......
Well, what did you expect? You only had $5,265.73 in your account...
Aytime you get an email even remotely like that one, delete immediately, and YOU can contact your internet provider directly. NEVER USE A LINK IN THOSE FAKE MESSAGES.
NO REAL ISP WILL EVER ASK FOR YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN AN EMAIL. NEVER. NOT EVER.
Delayed reply
“Be suspicious” is my motto. I have even emailed friends to see if the email he sent me was okay to open.
“Nonsense.”
What do you know? As a PC consultant for 20+ years I advise any of my clients that receive a “suspicious” email to send me all their money, burn their house down, dress in clothing from the Salvation Army and to hitchhike to Mexico.
Of course I’m retired now but its always worked well for me. ;-)
And the he opened the spam mail
Dum Dum Dum
Dum Dum
And replied to the spam mail
Dum Dum Dum

(*sigh*)
I only open email with the subject line: YOU MIGHT BE A WINNER! Everything else gets deleted.
"User" should be plural, and the exclamation points..?
C'mon.. my granddaughter would recognize this as a scam.
By the way, what does n/t mean?
Thanks for all yer cooperation, University of Arkansas Computer Engineering Dept.
I've seen nearly the same wording as the "Amish" virus...

BULLSH*T!
If you give them your account info, not only will your bank accounts be emptied, but your computer will die, your land will be sold out from under you, your dog will get rabies and maybe you'll be killed as well.
Feel free to put this obnoxious spam in you "Trash" folder.
LOL
