How stupid do they think we are?

It's unstoppable.

I've had over 250 scam emails from shysters pretending to be connected to to Barclays bank.

I also get a "fake" email from paypal every time I use a particular vendor, something about another email address wishing to become authenticated for my paypal.

Sadly, people are still falling for this stuff.

Apparently, the government are powerless to stop scammers from emailing us this shit, and calling us up all hours of the day to chase non-existing PPI claims. But they want to "regulate" the internet just in case you're talking to someone whose opinions they deem subversive! Rant rant rant.

'Evangelical preachers' in the US have been enticing folk to give money for decades - because for some reason the dude that can create the 'Multi-verse' requires their cash

So a tad more sophisticated but aimed at the same level of intelligence/naivety

I can't tell you how many I have had but it's in hundreds ...Been around the net a long time LOL
one sure way to spot one is they start with

Hi user, they never use your name because they don't know it, a genuine one will know your name, also most modern email progs will if you hover over the link show you the real url you will goto.

I got so fed up that one day I set a trap on one of my sites with an e-mail address just sat there to be harvested and it was it gets about 20 a day but all that happens is it deletes the message and sends out a auto response I often wondered what they thought to my crafted response until i got a e-mail from someone complying to me as the domain owner about the bad language in it
