I know quite a few people who would answer false stuff just for the sake of adding confusion to their databases.

Unfortunately, I've know people that have responded to things like that...& after they clicked & d/l ed something, I got to clean up the mess....

Just remember this: You cannot win a lottery or other competition unless you have entered it. These are pure scams, nothing more nothing less, and they are designed to prise your personal information from you.

I wouldn't be surprised because some words must be written in CAPSLOCK and the ''XMAS'' word must be written in complete spelling.

I get emails telling me I have a faxed scan waiting for me. Which I don't do. So I just delete them.

Brings to mind the, "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." But, the African Prince who was trying to hide his millions in my bank account I thought was a good idea. Too bad I deleted the email.
