I do agree with you that Spamming mail would come anywhere in the world and it is up to us if we will allowed them to do things not good for us......and most of the time that I do for this kind of mail is to delete if directly without reading.......

As long as you respond to these scams you will get more and more, they believe that sooner or later you will give them information they can use to get money from you. I read them only to pass info on to our local senior center to warn elderly people not to fall for them. The stories are amazing.

What you did is really funny... Oh well, everyday I also received same message as you that I won in the raffle draw or lotto and my email add had chosen and I won a certain amount of money..They also state there that I should send my complete name, address and contact number for me to claim the price.. Same as you, they will give a certain contact person and his/her email address where will I send the information that they want to know.. But I don't believe in them since I received 2 kinds of messages a day with different contact person.. Well, as for me the address is not in Malaysia but in United Kingdom (UK).. I just delete it and I never send them emails.. I just couldn't understand why there are so many scam right now.. They really having fun fooling many people..

What a name, Mr. Andy Jerry...I'm thinking, if i would get this kind of letters and i make "sakay" and i would get them to be investigated by XXX or imbestigador. I just don't have the guts to be on TV. Okay, maybe i'll just ignore these things. Actually, when i read a suspicious email, i delete it right away. :)

I would have put in the spam folder. Everyone one of us receives quite a number of these type of emails. Ignore not worth it wasting the time even to read them

Great reply , that reply should have tought a lesson to the sender that people are not fool. Such e-mails are just scam and people who are reading replies of this discussion, please never get greedy after reading such e-mails because the only intention of such senders sending these mails is to mix a little greed in their e-mail so the end user slips.

That's real life for you. Scums outside the worldwideweb and scams inside it. A lesson to all "recluse", there's just no way you can escape the world.
