Mails that are not at all related to any of our work, and cheats us. Such mails are spam. Last night I got one spam in my yahoo mail folder.
Last night I was checking my mails and messages in yahoo account. But when I logged in into my account then I found one message written that congratulations you have won lottery of $1000000.
I opened that mail in excitement. Then it was written in the mail that I’m the winner of lucky draw. Kindly send your address and phone number so that we can send you the prize. I immediately sent my home address. Then after some time their reply approached. In reply they were saying that I have to go to Thailand in order to get my prize. But if I’m not able to go to Thailand then they will send me that prize but I had to give photocopy of my passport or Identity card. After this my reply was – I cannot send. Then their reply aroused they said that they are sending the prize but I have to give courier charges first of $650 to their address. Then my reply was pay courier charges on my behalf and deduct that charges from prize money and kindly send me. After that no reply came from their side nor that prize. Because this was a very good example of spam Mail.
I hate spam. They loot and robe online users. They attract the reader more accurately and take money from them in more effective manner and then fly in the invisible sky. There is no limit of such spams. They are applying and developing different new and unique tips we all cannot even imagine what they can do now. We all came in their sweet talks and give them money and they becomes invisible after getting the money. Police also cannot do anything in such cases. Police tries a lot but its very difficult to catch a theft who worked online.

This was a scam, beware they will put you on a list and you’ll get more attempts to steal your identity. Nothing is free, and if it was…then you wouldn’t have to pay any fee. Also shut it down that email because usually there is a virus attached, clean out the cookies in your tools asap. Good Luck…and remember “What God has for you, no one can block it or stop it”
