If you get an email saying we have millions of dollars waiting for you then its a blatant scam,had one this morning that i deleted that came from the US,forget their details,but,they said had inherited $30.9 million,yeah course i have.

Next time i get one i will post dodgy details here.

I just recently got one claiming to be from Fedex. What a joke since I had nothing in the pipe line at the time, and the senders email was from a person, not actual fedex. Easy to spot of course, but the body of the email was a good copy of a FedEx page with a tracking number and everything. May have fooled a few people.
There was a link to click in the middle to continue, of course I didn't click it, but my guess is it was probably a good virus set up. Whatever it was, keep an eye out for that one and delete it.

people need to use common sense,once you receive such mail always put down into spam folder.worked in the past in large org,and amount of people that have no clue these days of dangers is beyond astonishing,someone got whole departments emails and sent tons of emails to everyone asking for help since they got stuck in cyprus,now it wouldn't be unusual to have people from org travelling,but random people would still reply back,no common security sense at all,fake invoices with blurred out image waiting to press on the link and get malicious code into pc and other crap,point being them people will always target thousands,and in this day and age still fall for such like nigerian prince etc,or simple cloned site with fake email asking to change pass or login,while any decent antivirus will protect from viruses if one is unlucky to open compressed package,but there's little safety if one opens rogue site and enters details,given how everything connects nowadays from email to online banking social networks,thus only advice can give is read tech news,and keep up to date with all the mail and malware scams,since older generation is quite vulnerable,and usually after damage is done they go looking for help when its too late.

Had one today advising I had won $52,000.000.00 from power company in Africa... They will try ANYTHING..

[Ladybugsrcool]

Hahaha I had some emails like this awhile back. We're all millionaires in waiting guys...

[nicenchill]

Lolol for real, def watch out for these emails. They never quit with these scams. I remember one time getting a letter with a "check" inside. Couldnt have looked more fake and bs saying to please cash and send back overage asap. What a bunch of scum doin this. Vigilance is key

[Rattzo]

My job had a phishing awareness month and they sent all fake links to see if you would click, and if you did it would send you to a GOTCHA screen. They got me one 1 it said from IT DEPARTMENT subject "Password Change". So i mean the bad grammar and international phone codes are one thing but if it's subtle and professional looking you might get nailed.

[Texas Chemist]

Holy cow. I have never seen these emails before in my life and I've used quite a few different outfits over the years with my personal email address. Maybe I'm just lucky and my spam filter cuts all the crap emails out.

BECAUSE IF I WERE TO GET ONE...I always have time for humor and would probably troll them with fake information until they would give it up.

I did used to get phone calls about placing 'orders' for my medicine as I'm sure they obtained my phone # from certain sites that I had ordered from. They would typically begin with, "our records show you are due for a refill?" To which I would immediately reply "for what medicine?"

Then the would proceed to list off everything from phentermine to antianxiety drugs to boner medicines and I would interrupt and say " YES! GREAT GET ME ALL OF THOSE NOW!!" The person on the other end would obviously seem excited I might be falling for it but also confused with "get me all of those" and say "so which order would you like to place?"

Again, I would say "EVERYTHING MY GOOD MAN! DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!" Then, usually a he, but sometimes a she, would tell me they could only send over one product at a time and then I, in turn, would pretend to be very upset and YELL "DAMNIT! WHY CAN'T I HAVE THEM ALL?! GET ME YOUR SUPERVISOR NOW!"

Of COURSE they don't have a 'supervisor' around and I would continue this charade for as long as I could until I had to go back to class (this was all when I was an undergraduate) and usually end the conversation with something along the lines of "I like touching myself sometimes". Yes, I know I wasn't the most elegant person and rather crude in my college years but it gave me and my buddies the lulz.

Fun times with trolls. LOLOL!

After the golden age of IOPs ended I had maybe 2 of my credit cards with charges on them for around $300 each. Simply reported it to the bank as fraud and was compensated the fraudulent purchases, whatever they were. One of them showed up on my statement as coming from Burlington Coat Factory. I think I cried with laughter that night...of all the things a crook would decide to purchase with my card info and a good credit rating and high purchase limit...a $300 coat. L. O. L.
