Here’s a link to a New Yorker article about someone who was actually swindled. It’s quite a tale.
Of late I’ve been submitting my junk email complete with all header information to spamcop.net. I’ve noticed a reduction to almost nil in the amount of spam that I receive on three of my google email accounts – although it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s tedious to do, but eventually effective.
One thing to note: in the Preferences tab, be sure to scroll down to Spam Munging and select “Become a mole”, otherwise those oh-so-clever-and-rich spammers will be able to continue with their abominations.
I never get money emails anymore. I guess I’m just not a winner. (However, I do get lots of offers for Cialis, Viagra and Levitra. But, I’m a girl…)
