It never ceases to amaze me how creative these crooks can get, and to what lengths they will go to separate people from their money, or worse.

Its crazy, I've seen most of those e-mails, it makes me sick to my stomach to even read them. How could you take advantage of someone else's misfortune, and use it to your advantage, just because you saw it on the net?
I've been recieving a lot of these spams in many of my e-mail addresses. Its crazy. You name it every type of spam mail, ESPECIALLY in my business e-mail. Now, I can't discern which e-mail to open. I recieve a lot of e-mails from our readers, and PR press releases.
I can't believe these corporations have the power to do this
