A spam e-mail from another forum... 

How are you?

As you saw in the message that i sent to you before, Someone that is
really close to you want you DEAD. We were paid to KILL/ASSASINATE you.
Now You have just two options, either to LIVE OR DIE. If you want to
LIVE, then you are to pay USD 10,000 Dollards for we to spare your life.
But if you don't pay this mentioned amount of money that means you have
to DIE, We have no option than to KILL you.

I must inform you that we have no time to waste. You have to be fast in
every thing you do because the person who want you DEAD will soon ask
about the mission to KILL/ASSASINATE you.

WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELL ANYONE
BECAUSE I WILL KNOW. REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU
DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING
FUNNY. DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:30PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU
AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD
AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH MY DEMANDS, THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE
ANY LEGAL ACTION.


GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY.

You would have at least used the spelling checker first... 

[Bar Wench]

I wouldn't.

[Barman]

I wouldn't.

What, contact the police? 

[Bar Wench]

Spell check it

[Barman]

Spell check it

Oh... 

[Snoopy]

  Does this mean we have found the sender I wonder.

I just got an e-mail from a guy I know in the 'States with the title: -

Possible Virus Do not open e mails from me

I expect to see a post from Nick in the computers section in the near future then

I had 67 such emails overnight, last night. 
Deal with them by pressing the delete button.

The few I get, I deal with by not opening, blocking sender and bouncing to sender, you then do not get any more from that source at least. 

Never had any spam or junk mail until a little while ago, when someone I know, who  is signed up with an online dating club, must have given it my details, since then I have had all sorts of junk.

Right! I figure my sudden upsurge in this junk has come about because of internet shopping pre Christmas. Some b@st@rd out there, not content with taking my money, has sold their database of email addresses collected to enable "confirmation of order". Once they sell the address to someone then onward selling clearly happens.

  Lesson learned. Pre Christmas create a Googlemail/Hotmail/Yahoo address, use it over the shopping period and once all goods are received cancel the account.
