What’s with people? *yawn*

Dear Friend,

My name is Major,Selma George. I am an American soldier with Swiss background,
serving in the military with the army 3rd infantry division.With a very
desperate need for help, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found
your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind
help to go the sum of ( $ 3.2 million u.s.dollars )three million, two
hundred united states dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share
will be safe in your care in anticipation of I complete my service here, this is no stolen
money, and there are no danger involved. I am presently in a hospital
recovering from injuries sustained in a suicide bomb attack.

Source of money:

Some money in various currencies was learned in barrels at a farmhouse near
one of Saddam’s ancient palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and
it was agreed by staff Sgt Kenneth buff and I that some part of this money be
shared among both of us before informing anyone about it since both of us saw
the money first. This was reasonably an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No
compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell
hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week.

Delight view website for confirmation;

The above map was given to me as my share, and to hide this kind of money
became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and
his office delight in some immunity, I was able to go the money to a security
company in bangkok thailand as a diplomatic baggage. They are now waiting for
us to provide the name of beneficiary who they will transfer the assets to. The
reason i want you to claim the assets on my behalf is that as a soldier, i
cannot present a concrete evidence on how i made such a huge amount of money
down here. Besides the US Government is trying their best to keep their eyes on
soldiers here inorder to effect a high level of restraint among us.The moment
i
am sure that you are willing to help me, i will give you the information of
the security company and the security code of the baggage.I want
you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the help you
will give to me.

One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with
anyone, should you have reasons to reject this offer, delight and delight
end this message as any leakage of this information will be too terrible for us
soldiers here in Iraq. I do not know how long we will wait here, and i have
been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace
of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach
out for help, i honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, delight
contact me as soon aspossible, my only way of communication is email.

Yours in Service.

How to fight spam and scams:

#1: Yahoo has a spamguard filter, but only if multiple users report an address as spam will it be treated as such by the filter.

You have a personal list for blocking addresses in spam options. Anything you mark as spam in Mail classic will be added to that list, in New Yahoo mail adding addresses to the list has to be done manually. If you ever receive anything from those addresses in the prospect, it will be deleted involuntarily, you won’t even notice when you got some more crap from them. One problem even if: the list of blocked addresses is limited to 500 and spammers often exchange their address. So you must sometimes delete some of the older blocked addresses to make room for new ones.

Go to this link where everything is clarified in detail:

#2: The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) is supposed to help you eliminate spam mails. Forward spam to: spam@uce.gov, in the subject line enter something like “unsubscribe link consequences in more spam”, “unwanted spam message”, “no unsubscribe link” or something similar.

When the FTC gets your mail, they will look into the matter and when they find out who the spamming source is, they will take legal actions.

#3: Check Mailwasher, it helps to eliminate spam from your inbox…

Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the “Check Mail” button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.). Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for simple sorting.

Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: “Delete” and “Bounce”. If you click “Delete” the email will be marked for deletion, click “Bounce” and the mail will be marked for bouncing – a fake “address not found” email will be sent to the sender. Once you have chose what to bounce and delete, click “Process Mail” to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails.

MailWasher has a “blacklist” and a “friends list” to enter excellent and terrible email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay. Filters can be set to increase MailWasher’s effectiveness. You can have email addressed to “undisclosed recipients” involuntarily deleted and bounced for example.

Note: the program is free but limited to one email account. MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts.
