hello sir I am agree to you that all of us might have recieved such emails and they allready knew that they are spams. But I putted this discussion here as to aware others who may not be aware about such spams like one of my friend. He follwed up one similar one and wasted a lot of his time . In the end he got only disappointmet when they ask to deposit about 10,000 dollars in their account for some legal documentation. even when I read that email it was seems to realistic story. Its a human nature that get attracted towards the easiest way of getting rich. even they know there is no shortcut to success. These days these scammers targeting indians the most. I feel it important to warn specially those who are new to internet technology and aren't aware much of its -ve use by bad minds.

I get several of these every single day. I don't even open them anymore. I am a little concerned as to why the numbers of these emails have picked up over the last six months - since I joined myLot. Though I know no one on myLot can access my email address I still wonder whether it is a coincidence. I delete these emails without even opening them.

I my goodness. I get at least 3 of these a day. I am so sick of getting those types of email. I simply delete them. They are emails to get your information and commit idenity theft. Because if it where a legit email then they are wanting you to commit fraud and money laundering which can land you in jail. These email go start to my spam list. I wish there was a way to find these people who are sending out those email and file lawsuits against them.

I used to get these sorts of emails years ago. They appear to be a pretty old form of spam, in my opinion; nowadays, at least in my spam box, spammers go more for sending me poetry (or at least the first few lines that gmail displays sound like poetry).

i actually received similar email from a certain Mike Kumalo. The email content was like this...You may contact my secretary James Felix and claim your $800,000.00. Just for fun i emailed the secretary. Then this so called secretary James Felix replied, Yes my director Mike Kumalo, left to me a Cashier's Bank Draft for you before he travelled out of this country for investment projects. He was also asking for some personal informations for me to be able to claim the so called bank draft. Didn't reply anymore...how on earth could somebody give you this big amount? This amount is equivalent to P36,000,000.00.

It is true . I am receiving such mails ocassionally. Some months back I got one mail with title "your bill" . I tried to open it, but the antivirus in my computer show a "red" warning that the file contains virus and do not open it. Thank you for the information
