I know what you mean
Actually I kind of get a kick out of all the different junk people try to pull. What amazes me is the number of people who will actually buy into these things and wind up getting screwed. There must be a lot of people responding to these offers, or we would not keep getting them.

Yep,
I get that nonsense all the time, too. Sometimes the spam blocker catches it, sometimes not. It's crazy stuff.

I'll tell you another one to watch for...
They suggest they will give you a new laptop (or some other expensive thing) and suck you into answering a few questions that turns into answering a 100 more and finally checking a list of commercial products and services you might be interested in. It's essentially like seeding you email into the wind and, by the time I caught on and deleted the whole mess, I'd spent a half-hour and never saw the place to register for the laptop.

Wish I'd seen this post sooner....
Just last week, I bought 40 acres of Prime Property on Mars...now I'm sort of wondering if this could have been a scam.
Everytime I get that one supposedly from Paypal, I turn it in to their Spoof Dept so they can track those bast**ds down !!!
