They used to come but I got rid of them by blocking off junk mail. It got annoying and got to the point where I'm like forget this. I usually never believe them at all and think they're just bogus. If I did believe it, I probably would but I've always thought those were scams to tell you the truth.

That's a very good question. I am not sure but I guess it's one of those things that you experience for yourself on that. I just read it and just throw it away and not think much of it.

Oh I have had many of these, all scams, I often wonder how many people who fall for these things, I know they have been outed on TV a few times so they may not get as many as maybe they used to, but I guess every now and then some one will have hope for a miracle in their life and maybe think that one of these is it, I hope every one is wised up these days....

"Car 419, where are you?" -_- Its a scam, not worth your time. Just delete it and report sender. None of these things are legit. When it comes to these things, if you are unsure, if its too good or too easy, its probably too bad for you if you try it.
