Welcome

Email scams are as old as the internet. Within this blog you will see several that have been sent to one person. All links have been rendered useless. Each email is posted here in their entirety as I have received them, with only a few changes to protect you the viewer.
Each posting has been edited into this blog with Microsoft One Note.
Please, do not contact any of the authors of these emails. Do so At Your Own Risk!

Does People PC still exist?

I didn't even know people pc still existed! I have found almost all the mails I have received, whether from an individual or mega conglomerate, use the most common of email providers. That should be everyones first tip off. Even I have my own person email server with a website I run. A big company or government official will NOT be using Hotmail, gmail, peoplepc or even a internet provider email address like ATT or Time Warner. A good rule of thumb to know if the email is phishy.
