I get hundreds of offers like that every week. Also, I apparently need to "update" all my paypal and ebay profile information about 50 times a week.

My favorite is the Nigerian bankers with a dead relative with the same last name as me. The message goes something like, "Dear Fenris Wolf, please to understand that I am contacting you in strict confidence of the death to our common relative Umbuktimbu Wolf."



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH they actually think "Fenris Wolf" is a real name. I use that box specially for junk mail. I forward everything to the FBI. They never follow up on anything in the many years I've been doing it, even though their cybercrime site asks specifically for these African mails to be forwarded...

Whatever. Best bet is don't open any mail that you didn't expect.

I don't have too many problems with my yahoo account, but my email account at the university is literally inundated with up to a dozen emails a day like what Matt describes. You'd think the school would have a decent spam blocker in place.

I get the same Nigerian dude haling me in strict confidence from his luxurious estate at the base of Mt. Wannahawkaloogi to ask if I will hang onto his $24 million.

I also like the messages saying "Fenris, your loan is APPROVED"

I need to cash in on this somehow.
