Sample of Spam or Scam Email
Can you imagine receiving 554 spam and scam emails in your inbox. I am very thankful that Yahoo Mail can filter spam emails and will immediately put it in your spam folder. Sometimes it goes directly to your inbox. What to do if this happened? Immediately mark the mail as spam so that the next time the same email address will send it to you, it will be directly filtered into your spam folder. Below is only a sample of a spam or scam mail that was sent to me. I only copied and pasted it here. Again a friendly reminder, never ever give you personal information like what they are asking in the letter. Never ever believed this kind of fraud emails that are proliferating in the internet right now.
