Email Inbox Surprise #2 - I keep getting mail offering me money. Where the hell is it?

Spammers wanting to give me money are making me crazy! This is a down side to being an open networker, e, I guess.

Note: See the bottom of this rant for news of a great podcast with pertinent information!

Note #1 in today's email: They didn't personalize it. Note #2: I will not be accepting your generous offer(s).

My dear Friend,

Most people seem to think that there is something mysterious about being able to make a lot of money while others remain comparative poor becomes the great question. The answer to this depend on two fundamental things.

The positive faith of the money maker in his own power. Secondly, the usefulness of opportunity.Life is not dull for those who struggle to acheive their aim. people who make fortunes or become millionaires must be out and out individaulists. Millionaires are dreamers who put their thoughts into action.

My name is Mr. Sullivan Young,the Executive Auditor and head of computing department,bank here in United Kingdom.I wish to transfer the sum Two million Pound Sterling into your account.Which belongs to Late Mr. John Hughes,the Director and owner of petrochemical service from australia. Who died since 1998 without a will. Through my investigation,i found out that no body knows about this account.And i am his personal account manager,i have with me all the files concerning this fund.

However,if you are honest,i need your assistance by providing your full name,Bank account or empty account,Address,Occupation,Marital status,Age,State/ country and Any form of your identity such as international passport or driving license.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be give 30% of the total amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.

Hi Michael,

With over 1 Million identified Internet security threats, we've passed a 'Tipping Point', where instances of Malicious Code now outnumber legitimate applications.In addition, trusted sites, such as Social Networks, are increasingly being targeted by hackers and identity thieves.

This week on 'The Connections Show', I talk with Craig Scroggie, Managing Director of Symantec, about these issues, as well as some of the tools, tips & strategies users should be employing to ensure the safety of their personal information online.
