I don't think you should worry.

I get emails from these guys who say they have 1,000,000 dollars and need to meet me so i can take their money and look after it for a while. :roll:

I've got about 10 of those in the last year.

That is odd.

I had the e-mail address dangerboy@dangergirl.com for the longest time, and I would get one a week.

I would respond to the e-mail and let them know they have the wrong address.

Not that you have to or anything.

Later

-Sam

I still get them all the time. Someone from Nigeria that is linked to the previous government or something like that!

Weird, so I delete it without even thinking twice :roll:

Wanna talk about weird,

I got an e-mail from a SPAM bot in Singapore that was going through the whois name by name. So I checked it out, and the company that owned it went out of business two years ago. Their web site was still there, but it was starting to show signs of decay. Very obviously... a ghost.

Creepy, huh
