WOW! I am Rich!!!!
I just received 2 emails, one from the Netherlands claiming I won $1,500,000 in an internet lottery drawing
And if that wasn't enough I received one from Nairobi claiming I will receive a huge percentage of #75,000,000 if I help them move the cash here to the states.
Will wonders never cease?

Re:WOW! I am Rich!!!!
I've had that Nairobi scam letter sent to me three times over the last lear...DO NOT give them your bank account#s!!!
If it's too good to be true...well, you know the saying.
Quite laughable really, these scam artists...but if you think about it, if they send out, lets say 1000,000 e-mails...and if they can get just ONE sucker who bites... they've got it made.
I'm just wondering... wheres Interpol on this?!?

DPG: I use Mozilla and it has a spam filter included. You need to train the filter for about 50 mails and then it puts the junk mail into a junkmail folder.
Do you also get tons of mails about sidenafil citrate and some treatments to make certain body parts longer?

You can find Mozilla at http://mozilla.org/ .
You don't have to visit these sites, sometimes it's sufficient to have some company selling your e-mail. (Are you interested in fast cars- Yes- obviously you have a small.... so you are in the interest group ;D )
For giggles I added up the promised inches per week from my junk box- in a good week it came close to a quarter mile

Re:WOW! I am Rich!!!!
Wow Joel...that was a long read...but i couldn't help but wonder...
As i read along , reading about Holden Megroin scamming the "scammer" i couldn't help but feel that this Author *might* have been scamming the readers too????

maybe true...
But it's not costing me a cent so I don't really feel scammed. Took some of my time and even the possiblity that it's real is worth that time to me.
