Any Good Spam Emails Lately ?

Montano · 01-05-2010, 06:08 AM

It had been a while since I got a good one, but this one came in this morning:

How are you doing? Please I really don't feel like disturbing you with my problem but I don't have any other choice rather then seeking for help from you, please try and understand my situation right now as it needs an urgent attention. Actually, I traveled to London, but Unfortunately for me, I got robbed by some street orchids while trying to get a cab back to my Hotel. Right now, I am stranded and so cash trapped.
I can't even think straight now. So please can you kindly lend me $1500 to settle my hotel bills and other things. Even if you don't have up to the amount, you can assist me with any amount you can raise. I promise to pay you back the money as soon as I return back home. I am so confused right now. I would have called you to explain the situation to you but my mobile phone does not work here and the hotel phone line has been disconnected because of the bills I am owing the hotel management, I only have access only to email. You can have the money sent to me through western union money transfer as It is more safer and faster,i still have my ID (Passport with me):Here is the details where you would send the money to

Name : Irving Wu
Address: 56 Kentish Town Rd,Camden Town,London NW5 2, UK

So please kindly locate a western union office and send the money if possible today so that I can get out of here as soon as possible. Immediately you send the money, get back to me with the payment details after you sent the money. I am almost impatiently waiting for your reply. Hope to hear from you very soon.
Awaiting your reply

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.

High-five on that one, Adam

I'm on Windows, I opened it long enough to see the site name, something about a pharmacy...probably generic Enzyte pills, so theoretically, those could help your cojones

...

lmao, they'd do that.

sorry guys, I'm caffeine-hyped. Damn good coffee, btw.

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.
