Yup we all know these silly scams from nigeria, i need your help transfering my dead grandfathers brothers best friends dog walkers, 10 mil funds. Well as of late i have been getting litterally hundreds of these things. Yet all I hear about is how the US and Nigeria are doing all they can to stop these people. I can think of a way but I wont say as it would be rather un-popular amoung some here

Can't you sue them for false advertisement or something?

What I've done is start a collection. One emial folder is marked "Scam Emails" and every one of these I get goes there. I also have a lot of "You have just won the Belgium Lottery" and there's also those "Your Ebay account has been suspended". Maybe some day I'll print them all out and publish a book on email scams and their evolution since the introduction of the internet. ;D

I don't get a lot of those either, and I use Hotmail. *knocks on wood* what I do get is little news letters from everything that I have ever registered for. Ebay, Flying Magazine, AOPA, EAA, Amazon, the list goes on.. :-/

I use Yahoo! mail and I have it set to delete any spam as soon as its sent, so as far as I know, I don't get any spam.

I've got a heavy filter on spam. If I sign up to something, the conformation mail will go to my junk email. There, I just allow e-mails to be sent from that address, and add it to my inbox. I keep getting e-mails calling me Robert. That's not my name!
