CONGRATULATIONS!

Dr Moore PHD writes to tell me I’ve won $720k from Yahoo, which multinational companies are going to give me because they have a sense of social responsibility.  How nice.  He also tells me I should give him full details of my identity to prevent  “unwarranted taking advantage of this program“.  The very idea.  How could anyone be so dishonest.

Easily is the answer to that.  Dr Moore is good at dishonesty.  This email is a good example.  He doesn’t work for Yahoo and there was no random draw.  I haven’t won anything and neither have you.  Just delete the email and don’t reply.  Dr Moore doesn’t want to send you money, he wants you to pay him money in the form of advance fees.

If you prefer to get your own back on the scammers, install Spam Bully. Highly effective spam filter for Outlook, Windows Mail and Outlook and includes a “get back at the scammers” feature.
