Email Scams

i got one from some American company today saying i had won a consollation prize of about $385,000 (wish i'd won first prize!!!), i had to send them all sorts of details to claim the money, which i obviously didn't do. i have recently had a real influx of emails from the States i recently got "tagged" by a friend living in Mexico and stupidly replied so think thats where they are coming from a lot of them say to unsubscribe i'll have to write to their head office in New York

Ste's always getting them, he's won pcs, millions of pounds (and dollars), ipods, cd players, mobile phones, houses.... all in competitions he's never entered...
He must be the luckiest man alive! :rolleyes:

Funnily enough I never get any!

I have had sooo many of these recently...lottery wins, job offers, nigerian/iranian/mozanbique please help me out and last but not least I am a poor student sponsor me :rotfl:

I haven't given my email out to anyone and I always check the t&c's and tick no 3rd companies when I do

Luckily my anti-spam and junk email folder catch most of it :rotfl:
