Dickson-shite here also - only a dozen so far. Seems as tho this scam trawls through address books, so if your address is in several, you get the
corresponding number of messages.
Thanks for the Lycos info.

The idea is that your send them money so they can then 'export' their own money. They'll then give you a share of it.
What of course actually happens is that you never see your money again.
Frankly if anyone's dumb enough to send their money to something like this then IMO they deserve to lose it.

Mr Okanawdoa,
Please send me your bank details so I can pay you large sums.
Just 20's though, will they do?

I checked my junk mail on hotmail and I've had 5 moyo, 2 myo dickson and a Dennis Mbomo. It's a wonder there's any money left in circulation in the
country.
yours, Pete.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop it, other than changing your email address. A 'spam filter' such as the service provided by Hotmail might do
the trick but I'm not sure you can get one of these as a third party product, it has to be provided by your email host.

You can't stop them as such- other than change your e-mail address.
With several e-mail systems (such as Outlook) you can create 'Rules' so that it'll auto delete a mail with a certain header.
With my Yahoo account I can report a mail as spam (just click the 'This is Spam' button) and I don't then get any more from that address.
HTH,
James

Unfortunately I can't find an article I read on BBC news yesterday but it reckoned that every day there are 5 Americans sitting in the lobby's of
London hotels waiting to meet their new Nigerian 'business partner'!!!

I had 21!!
But only 1 got through.
If using outlaw express, simply highlight the message.
Then select Message maneu, then select Block Sender - That castrates Moyo quite nicely if a 20:1 ratio isnt too bad!

Trouble is, they're getting sneaky!
I had a heap last night, all from slightly different addresses and with slightly different subject lines - very difficult to keep the filters up to
date.
Apart from sending a complaint to spam@lycos.com (again ) I have now changed my e-mail address - anyone I know from this site who wants the new
one can contact me via U2U.

There is also another reason apart from the one mentioned by lycos as to why you are all getting these e-mails. I,ve had a few of these as well. As
not mentioned in the lycos reply, the e-mails say you should forward to as many people as possible within the space of one hour and not actually reply
to the sender.As you can see, this is spiralling fast. Basically these e-mails are from people who are against the internet, like the greenpeace of
the net, and what they do is to send these e-mails out asking you to forward to as many of your collegues as you can within one hour. Eventually if we
all did this it would spiral out of control and the net would crash!! It,s far from making the net crash yet, but as you can see they are tring
hard.
