No matter how many times you hit "SPAM" these messages are back again --

The other day we had one from the IRS ... !!!

Just contacted my Senators asking why they don't stop this?

If they can't, why not . . . ??

This is FRAUD -- and certainly Congress should stop it -- and can stop it!!

1. Have you tried contact the entity being spoofed?

Argh!

[ima_sinnic]

2. I got that "IRS" one. these are all phishing scams. just delete and move on.

I get them from "banks" I've never done business with.

11. Yes . . . however, there are people who will be fooled by them ...and should be stopped, IMO.

This is, of course, just like the now limited but still annoying

fake phone calls that still get thru, the piles of junk mail every

day -- and this crap e-mail. It should be stopped.

3. Just try MailWasher from Fire Trust Ltd.

It works fine with me.

[Subdivisions]

4. Phishing. Get them all the time. Everyone beware of

anything like this that you receive in your email. These are designed to separate you from your money. Don't fall for it.

5. I get BS like that often enough. I always immediately contact the

referenced entity to let them know they need to check into it. All of them have been quite grateful.

NEVER CLICK ON AN EMAIL LINK, especially to a financial site of any kind!

[Captain Needa]

9. And I get scam job offers too

Don't get busted. My last phising Email was a masterpiece, they even made it look like my legitimate bank front page. MailWasher identified it immediately as a scam and marked it "delete" from server before it hit my Email program.

12. As far as I know the companies can't be bothered with it ---

they will tell you it's phishing -- and they don't contact people

by mail for personal info. The do nothing about it.

Keep warning about it tho cause someone must be responding or

they wouldn't be doing it any longer!

6. And I have received two today.

One from CITI (which I don't have any account with and one from Bank of America, which I do. Both of them are telling me my online account is blocked because of too many failed attempts to log in. Of course they will be happy to help me by "Click here". I hate to think of people that aren't aware this is a scam and hand out their information. It is happening more and more.

7. I use gmail...

And they are real good at filtering spam. In the three years I've used it, I think I've only gotten a handful of items that were spam and did not go directly to the spam folder.

[sandyj999]

8. I also have a g-mail account and there were 56 e-mails in the spam folder this morning. n/t

[Ohio Joe]

10. Holy crap!

I don't get that much spam in a month! Then again, I don't often give out my email address.

[The Straight Story]

14. I get about 1000 a day in my gmail

And none of it is porn. If it were I might click on it :)

[sandyj999]

16. It isn't my main account anyway. n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

13. I won the Nigerian Lottery

about 75 times in 2008. I have also won the South African and Australian Lotteries. I have been unable to win the CA State Lottery no matter how many tickets I buy????

I get all kinds of the email you posted - I also get lots of viagra spam... My favorite though? ---------> I can make my penis lots bigger too (if I had one.) :)

[sandyj999]

15. They're Trying to Help Me in that Area Too.

No thanks I enjoy being a woman!
