Strange Emails

Mishi · October 19th, 2003, 2:55 AM

I don't know if this is the correct topic to post this in but I'm getting really freaked out by this.

Lately, I've been recieving some very strange emails from individuals who have some sort of money issues. I don't understand it, but it seems there is a pattern here, they all have to do with money!

I don't think this is spam because its not exactly advertising. One of the emails is from a person who claims to be in "hiding" in a foreign country and wants me to secure them a Visa and give them a place to stay!

I have no idea where these have come from, is anyone else getting these emails? Please tell me what I should do, because blocking their email address doesn't seem to help at all. :unsure:

i think they fall along the lines of the Microsoft Wanna Be "windows Update" sent through email but is really a virus type emails..

I also remember some emails about some chick from St. Petersburg Russia hiding out wanting me alone to save her..

Bah! The Spam, spam, spam song from Montey Python comes to mind
