      Lol! Apparently. I have like 4 of them in my yahoo account. I love my gmail account. It would have never touched gmail.

   I'm surprised anyone would still fall for these sorts of things. I get baiting emails constantly, from "PayPal," "eBay," "Bank of America"... the ones I love the most are ones that look like they are from banks, etc., telling me I need to update my account when I don't have and never had an account with said bank...

      This is the first one I've had like this. I get a lot telling me my package is waiting to be picked up in Africa.

      Lol, I've never gotten one like that! I have, however, had people emailing me saying they want to purchase whatever product I am selling on craigslist at the time, and that they are not only willing to pay more than I asked for it, but they want me to ship it to "a friend" in Africa, or China, or wherever.

   Yeah I get these all the time in my MSN Hotmail.
   Then I am bombarded with Viagra and Horse sex ads at my Yahoo.
   My Gmail is getting pretty bad too but at least they have a pretty good delete button.

   Thanks Shiley, these things are a pain. I never believe anything. One day I will have won big time and just shrug it off!
