I've been receiving these winning notification around the world telling me my e-mail has won an internet ballot lottory and the amount to receive, some $5.5m, some 4.3m GBP. AND SO ON, some winning notification are about coca cola lotory, some UK national lottory, i often delete these e-mails but one time i just applied for the fun pretending i'm interested and they asked me to contact the claim agent and she asked me to pay $500.00 for the transfer of the funds. so i replied back and told her it's interesting to exchange a toad with a frog but you've not met the right fool with whom you could do that.
what about you, do you receive such messages or mails?

I've seen such "notifications" in the past, but not any time recently. It's been over a year since I've had any manner of a spam problem. All the e-mail that comes to my inbox is expected. If you would like to know how I beat the spammers and phishers, you can read all about it here: http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-3513_7-0-10.html?forumID=104&messageID=2409256&threadID=222541
Hope this helps!
