Venditoris: Beware of Scams

This is more like it. We are back into the traditional YANL Spam Scam type of letter.

Funny how it seems refreshing to know that merely old spam hands are at the keyboard sending these out to unwitting email readers instead of slick, Internet-savvy Europeans who are more obvious in their pitches and seem at first look to be almost real.

IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE REAL, IT AIN”T!!

They hope you will reply, of course.

Let the sheer volume of letters we have collected here as samples of this long standing scam provide the evidence for you to label all these and similar sounding emails as SPAM. That’s what they are.

If you reply, you are then getting into the second stage where it becomes a pure SCAM!
