 Sesay spam email, Risky Business, 16. Jul 2003 12:46 | ||

| Well, I guess this forum has one more reader than we thought. I just got a sob story about a guy, his wife and kids, and his $30 million that's locked away in swiss bank accounts, seeking asylum or some bullcrap......but he needs my help. Nobody else has been given my upf2004wsop email address. I saw this scam on Dateline, or some other watchdog news show. What a load of dung. I hope nobody else that has provided their emails here gets it. p.s. I told him I'd help him out if he'd give me those bank account numbers. | ||

| Yeah, they probably did a web search for anything that looks like an email address and found it in your posts. -Moz "The reports of my assimilation are greatly exaggerated." | ||

| I got something similiar froma Doctor in Africa who was wanting to invest substantial money in the US but could not open up any accounts and needed to use me to invest the money in my name. Yeah, right. I tried messing with him but it only seemed to encourage him. TKarrde "The next best thing to playing and winning, is playing and losing." | ||

| You are better off not to post any email address that you want to keep free of Spam. There are a lot of BOTS that just scan all sites for email addresses so they can sell them. We have Road Runner Cable and I just create a new email address for things like the WSOP 2004 trip and when I am done with that delete it. You could also get a Hot Mail or Yahoo account to post here.

| Exactly. I keep a second email address just to catch spam, and that's the one I have posted here previously. It's nice because I can just scan the 'from' addresses in case there is something from someone I know, and bulk-delete all the spam. -Moz "The reports of my assimilation are greatly exaggerated." | ||

| This is a great link for anybody who has ever received Nigerian scam emails. The guy has made a hobby out of getting back to them and arranging meetings in exotic locations. http://www.quatloos.com/brad-c/directory01.htm | ||

| Ok, I'll own up to it. It was me Risky. I signed you up at a couple of sights. The good news is that within weeks you will be Uber rich, have a 20 inch penis, and be receiving 2000 extra strength jars of Viagra. (Ok, not really. Just kidding) Speaking of wrong things to do ... here is another. When I fly, and I sit next to those pesky salesmen who try to sell you insurance and stuff, I always give them business cards of people I don't like. I tell them that this is my business card, I am totally excited about it, and to call me when they get back. Scrubbie "Good night now Beigs" | ||
