I'm a member on several discussion and email groups and we're having a big problem with spam. There's so much junk being posted its hard to find the true topics. I'm wondering how many people out there actually read the spam they recieve and if you believe anything it says? I've seen a lot of them lately saying that they got their masters degree in just two weeks through an online program. Would you believe this?
My wife works in HR and if you listed that on your resume she'd probably roll on the floor laughing right in front of you. Someone must be falling for this junk though otherwise they wouldn't bother posting it. Whenever I recieve spam now I reply by sending them copies of all the other spam I've recieved. After all if I can make a fortune laundering a dead C.E.Os money and win a dozen online lotteries why shouldn't I share the wealth. Then they can use the money to get their own 2 week Masters Degree.
What do you do when you recieve spam?

99% of it gets deleted but there are some that I read when I am extremely bored. I use Yahoo and it catches a lot of the junk mail that comes my way.
I did have some fun with one of those people that said they were the last living relative of a diamond mine and had 850,000 that they needed to move out of their country. I kept it up for two weeks until the persons email was finally cut off.

I just delete all spam emails. I don't bother reading them as I see it as a waste of time. It's hard to win the lottery when you haven't even played it! I think these people need to get a life and stop sending these annoying emails to everybody.

I've read a couple of them thinking it was from a forum but other then that I don't see the interest in reading them.
