If you subscribe to my free ecourse: 7 Days To An Internet Security Expert you will discover how to easily identify spam (in one of the lessons). I mention another real life example. In that example I show you exactly how I know they are spammers just by looking at the email and reading it.

You can optin by entering your name and email in the form, right hand side of the blog.

These are most common types of scams everyone receives --
People selling you any type of:

1) weight loss products.

2) love/romance/relationship related products -- you know what I mean here.

3) making money, lottery winnings.

4) emails stating a friend send you a greeting card.

5) gambling/Pharmacy products.

General rule is never trust emails that are trying to sell you something - or that look X files to you. It means you do not know who the heck is the sender.

These are all real scam emails, their subject lines (to get an idea):

Order Royal repl1ca w4tches Online

Neighbor sent you a postcard from BlueMountain.Com!

100mg x 90 pills $1.78 per pill

Best Selection of Tag Heuer

URGENT: Earn $500 (net income) over and over again! But, act fast!


By the way, if you never opted in for such emails they are 110% fake emails. (spam or scam call them what you want -- they should be ignored and deleted)

In my ecourse again I suggest methods to block spam, to reduce the amount of spam you receive and what are best email clients to use. I also answer the question: Do you need an anti spam block or spam filter software?

Lately I am getting serious in my posts. But it will not last very long :) I soon get stoned again.
