yeah, but it's also suprising to realise how many people actually believe these sort of thing. seriously, even the nigerian scams. I personally knew of one who actually followed through just because there was a human response to their response.... errr duh? But i think they do know it's a scam la in the end and didn't lose any money.

Obviously fake. So is the one about Microsoft tracking an e-mail and rewarding all those who forwarded it. Recently, I received an "improved" version which had all sorts of comments by "real people" tacked onto it, claiming they received huge amounts of money in their bank accounts.

Damn.. His virus-infected MSN is getting smarter. Instead of repeating the same old messages again and again, it's now sending me variations every few minutes.

Even with a payout of 750,000 quid I'd still think twice before driving another KIA
