Most Likely they are all scams so companies sell email and Home addresses to other Companies.So they can make more Money. Just either throw them away or send them back to sender. Have a Great Day/Night.

You are right buddy. I have seen people being scammed many times. So do not fall in the trap. Do not ever dsiclose your credit card info and bank info to any one, specially on the internet.

Not only you sidoney every body using the internet and email are facing the problem. Some of the mails I get are very funny. One mail says she has selected me from all email adress holders in the world to be her guardian since she has nobody else and her father left a fortune at her disposal. Such foolishness, can they cheet anybody with such flatterings?

No, you're not the only one. I used to get this stuff too, until I started using Challenge-Response. Only senders on my whitelist can get through to my inbox. I never get spam/phishing e-mail :) If you're interested in my solution, I wrote a review on CNET that explains everything. My article was well received, I'm happy to say. Here it is: http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-3513_7-0-10.html?forumID=104&messageID=2409256&threadID=222541 Hope this helps!
