    Still they come

    I know it's been mentioned on here time and time again. But I keep getting stupid E-Mails about being the owner of so many millions of dollars in a foreign bank. I have never replied to any of them and still these cretins keep sending them.

    Latest one is from a James Morrow supposedly from the China Guangfa Bank in Hong Kong who says he has "discovered" $49.5 million dollars (u.s.) in a bank account in my name. By the way the E-Mail is not addressed to me personally.

    Gee, I'm a lucky bugga.

    Getting sick of it, I must have the word "sucker" stamped on my forhead or something.

    Everyone gets them they "acquire" or generate random addresses based upon common names and the ISP domain name and then generate millions of emails. Those that bounce they delete (if they bother)

    You need to upgrade your antispam software, and activate anti-spam on your ISP email server if you use one.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I think you had your memory wiped when you were given a new identity.

    That kind of money suggests you had been a contract killer who took out heads of state. So it probably is your money.

    I suspect that before my memory was wiped and I was given a new identity, I must have been a West African Warlord, given the hordes of cash I'm purported to have stashed in Nigeria.

    I'm afraid to cash in, in case THEY think I have my memory back, and can incriminate them, in which case they may re-activate you to get rid of me.

    I just get a giggle, then bin them.
    Just a heads up for people using anti spam services, check your spam regularly. A lot of my wanted emails go there.
    I get regular, wanted marketing emails that i read then delete. The anti-spam software recognises this behavior and before long plonks them in with the spam. Even AULRO stuff keeps getting directed to the spam folder. I'm often having to remind the stupid computers "AULRO is not spam."
    Mind you, there is no way I can convince the computers Facebook is spam. I'm constantly getting emails asking if I know this person or that person. I have no idea who these people are. Bit of a giggle, really.

    Filter your email through a gmail account, plenty of instructions online. Gets rid of almost all spam, and it's free.

    Thanks for the tips guys,I have read threads on this subject before and some people on here get a thrill out of stringing the spammers along. I don't have the inclination or patience!!! I will look at my anti-spamming software, a lot of stuff does get binned by it, but every once in a while these ones sneak through.
