E-Mail Scam #6

And then there was this one. Are you beginning to notice a similiarity. Most of these are modelled after the Nigerian money offer scams. Most have some spelling errors (I have copied them exactly). There are others - like the fake Yahoo lottery scam ones that I will post once I locate one from the past (I actually forwarded them to Yahoo)

E-mail Scam # 5

So, here is the scam that arrived today. There could be more - I haven't fully checked. I wonder how Bill Gates feels about this one. At least they thank him for using his name as part of the scam. I will post more later.
