I get those a lot too.Usually from Ebay or something.

It always amazes me that people fall for it. At least I assume they do since they get sent out.

If I get really bored, I look through my spam email box. That is where I found this one at, thought it was funny. I guess they figure if they send out 1 million of them, 20 or so will fall for it. :confused
