Well, I Have Never...
January 28th 2008 12:04
...received a scam email before. Yes, I've had my inbox filled with many spam emails about enlargement products and that kind of junk, but I had never gotten a scam one telling me I've won tons of money. So this was kind of interesting to me. I decided to search it on the internet for fun. This link comes up with what I received. (If you scroll down closer to the bottom it gives you a sample email).
Actually, let me post my email here:

My first thought was, "A scam email! I've never actually gotten one before." And then I scrolled to see if they would ask for a SSN or something. My second thought was, "Wouldn't someone think, 'hey, how did Pepsi get my email?' if they even THOUGHT about trying to reply to this?"
Anyway, beware of scam emails! Have a good Monday!
