    3). Five star hotel
    4). Real Estate or other profitable investment.

    pleased to offer to you 10% Of the total fund.I await
    your soonest response.

    I've had a rash of them just lately, and some have been quite creative. My favourite was the bloke who wanted to buy stuff from me and to do so, needed MY credit card details :confused:

    Set up a peice of paperso it runs trough you machine and then then loops around and is taped to its end, and send it to the fax number you recieved the fax from, that way they get this endless fax, wasting their paper, make sure you write on it somewhere stop spamming, just so theycant reuse the paper. then leave it to runnover night, this should at least get some back at these annoying pests
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Spam is also now starting to turn up on cell phones as text messages; with 3G it'll only get worse - and we'll all be paying for the "pleasure".

    Cheers!
