I get stuff daily, I don't even open it anymore. I can tell by the subject line that usually includes "beloved" or the sender, who is usually a "barrister." Here is a wonderful site to peruse at your leisure:

I don't open them anymore but since I have "preview" set, I get to see some that I am still intrigued by the lunacy and balls to think I will fall for it. Obviously, some people out there do or they wouldn't sent them.
Here is an example of one I just got minutes ago.
Yeah, sure, I will click on that link.

Hello. I`m Aurora.
It is about you or no? http://80.92.97.13/~t0xxx@zelnet.ru/cassite.html

Good Bye ;-)


If anyone has the cojones to open it, let us know, that is if your computer still works afterwards.

Gee, I thought you were on a Mac and therefore impervious to all of that evil stuff, so why can't you open it?

Even Mac owners know an oncoming train from daylight when looking into a dark tunnel.
No way I dare risk it.
However, some of the PC guys with good malware programs can try.

I'm 98.2% positive it's just a redirect link - all the crap in there is so that they can track who gets paid for the referral.

Based on Kegan, sounds that way.

Hey, thanks to all PC users with all that special programing loaded that can keep us "exposed" Mac users safe.
I will be sure to always post them here first.
