SPAM-SCAM-PHISHING
ALERTS:
Here's
one sample of those idiotic "You won the lottery
types of SPAM Email .... how DUMB do they think we are anyway???
Thought you'd
enjoy seeing the example email source code for one of these LOTTERY
SPAM-SCAM emails, too. I sent this one to the US Government
unsolicited commercial emails address, too! ( spam@uce.gov)
Hey, they asked us to send them all spam including the header/source
code.
As in my other email sample, I have changed my email address in the sample
below so that I won't receive even MORE
stupid spam (from the harvesting software that abounds on the net these
days) but I wanted to leave it in place, so you can see how the
email headers work. I have changed it to the following: my*address@mydomain.com in the
SPAM EXAMPLE message source sample below.

SPAM Email Example
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I hope you were
"impressed" with all that money you "won" in that email.... hahaha....
and all that horridly
poor English, syntax, punctuation and all the other BS that you saw in
the above Lottery-SPAM Sample. I received it in my inbox just as
you see
it. Many of them do make me smile... although not the
genuinely happy kind.
Always remember, if something sounds "too good
to be true" it probably is a lie or something you really don't want to
mess with. See the Phishing
SPAM sample page.
Never reply to them (except in jest, of
course, with a throwaway email addy) because if you reply to this junk,
you'll be on every spammer's
list for garbagemail on the planet!
Yours in education,
Donna Maher
P.S.
If you want to keep this kind of trash OUT of your mailbox in the first
place, take a look at Mail
Box Filter and see what it might be able to do for your peace of
mind.
