Post by: kitten on Jul 05 07 08:03
Scam letters like this one have been showing up almost every day for the past month.  I tried to block them but I can't, and also tried to bounce them back, which can't be done.

 Hello Dear,

  I have Paid for the delivery fee for your Cheque Draft.but the manager of Eko Bank Benin told me that before the check will get to you that it will expire.

  So i told him to cash $850,000.00 all the necessary arrangement of delivering the $850,000.00 in cash was made with GLOBAL MAX COURIER COMPANY.Be inform that there are some documents to be secure.

  Do contact them and let me know when you recieve your money bellow is the needed information.

do you have a spam filter? Usually if I get one of those it goes straight to the spam filter/folder

I guess I'll have to order one.  I thought it could just bounce back and that would be the end of it.
