There's rarely a week goes by when I don't get one of these poorly written scam letters. I'm sick to bloody death of them really! One good thing tho' - I didn't know you could actually report such emails to yahoo (if they're sent on a yahoo account).
Thanks for dropping by Jin.
I do the abuse@spammersparadise.com thing regularly. This was the second time I got feedback though. :-)
