I been getting the same thing on my hotmail account connected with my blog site. I don't answer them. I have heard you should not even reply. Although I sure would like to send a sarcastic or threatening or even false information to them. I am afraid if i do that they will know it is an active email account and sell the address to others to send me junk mail.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a "secure" e-mail system at an academic institution that is supposed to prevnt such scams and I've gotten three in the last week. Must be working or they wouldn't keep it up.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, it works! P.T. was right. It's amazing how many people reply to stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd, it seems that an American was hired to write this one.
You might watch out for the pay-pal spoofs also..They are classics!
