spoof emails as well
http://www.spysoftcentral.com/News:
07/21/06 I've notified the proper authorities (ic3.gov) internet
crimes division of the email spoofs. All customers
are reporting the same thing that they have a
fraudlent charge from the payee of this website and
the order#dd26990.
Please understand that the charges you may have
received on your credit card were not charged by this
site, this site neither charges customers directly, nor
solicits emails of any kind.
07/20/06 Today I have received many complaint emails about
fradulent charges charged to
https://www.spysoftcentral.com, first off
https://www.spysoftcentral.com does not charge any money
directly to this site, all money goes through
companies like esellerate.net and
https://www.clickbank.com, the emails were sent by
someone claiming to be from this site, however the
charges are going else where. Please do not open
the attachments to these emails, many have told me
that they contain viruses. Please dispute this
charge, I am looking into this matter.

I don't have a credit card either. My bank details are not linked to this email address.
So people don't open it up.0 -
erm, such mails have been sent out for the last zillion years, if this is your 1st then you are lucky lol. Press delete, move on.
Its not uncommon to see virus files appear to come from friends addresses too, i think these still catch people out, i know my m8s often pass round games and stuff and just load em up without thinking, one day it'll be a virusDebt: a bloomin big mortgage
all posts are made for entertainment value only, nothing I say should be taken as making any sense and should really be ignored0 -

You miss the point, it was posted so those less savvy would not get infected.
Last year I received 10,000+ of em.
Now do you understand the point?0
