How often do you get this type of E-mails?

Counts.. 800k Pounds.. RM5million. Jackpot?

Did some investigation .. and this is what I found,

# This email message is a fake lottery scam. Consider the following facts about real lotteries:

1. They don't notify winners by email.
2. You can't win without first buying a lottery ticket.
3. They don't randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
4. They don't use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate
with you.
5. They don't tell you to call a mobile phone number.
6. They don't tell you to keep your winnings secret.
7. They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize!

Quoted from "http://www.419scam.org/emails/2007-09/22/01203547.271.htm"

Well all those points make total sense so.. It's a scam and spam.

Right after this e-mail, I got another one, from Queen Elizabeth!

"You won $500,000.00 contact Mr.Carry Winter onqueenelizabethfoundation101@yahoo.comwith your name, address,occupation,nationality and phone number to fileyour claim."

If that's not bad enough, occasionally I received e-mails on asking my interest in purchasing marijuanas.

Now my E-mail is more complexed than it already is. Used to tell people that my E-mail has a long story behind it,

"What's your e-mail?"

"um, it's .. hito .. kiri .. kael@hotmail.com"

"Huh..!?"


Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.
