Now I have gotten lots of these in my e-mail and I always mark them as phishing scam and send them into msn.com as such. Now, does anyone know if your e-mail provider when they get these do anything about them?

I'm afraid you are right Bill. Email like that is simply deleted if it is not blocked already by my spam filter. NIGERIA is a key word and mail with that work in it will not get into my email inbox. Other key words will cause a spam filter to insert SPAM in front of the subject line. Not perfect but it works more often than not.
I would not forward these emails to anyone, I fear a scam all the way around like Bill mentioned.

Latest one around here is a scam dealing with the warranty on your vehicle. I got one just the other day telling me they tried 3 times to reach me and it was critical that I sign up immediately to insure my Hyundai warranty continues.

I asked the guy if he thought that I had f***ing stupid written on my forehead. :yum: Click was all I heard on the other end. :yum:

I feel sorry for a lot of the old folks that are sucked into this shit. They can get confused and anxious very easily. I'd love to get my hands around the necks of some of these pukes.
