Hello.

Your email is sending spam messages!

If you don't stop sending spam, we will be impelled to sue you!

We've attached a scanned copy of the document assembled by our security service to this letter.

Please carefully read through the document and stop sending spam messages.


This is the final warning!
Corporate Technology Information Services.

Yeah, right :-)

CTIS is part of the Ford Motor Company..............

Hmm, that doesn't sound right, craft....

[ChuckFickens]

Where is the scam in this spam though?

Spam mails are always trying to get you to divulge information of some sort, this one doesn't seem to be....

Have you considered it might just be genuine and your account is sending out spam?

I think the clue is that it cannot be proven that an email has arrived at an address therefore this email cannot be anything other than rubbish. Surely notification of proposed legal action has to be by registered mail or a bailiff. I don't know though but that seems logical to me.

I've had a lot of spam letters lately, Three high street banks, teliing me to check my accounts for security. Others telling me they've got £300,000 waiting to be put into my account. Nigerian banks and Somalian refugees needing a home. That one sounds pretty scary boxy. My spam folder must be bulging by now.

Virus in the attachment Chuck?

[ChuckFickens]

Possibly, I wouldn't open it.

I'd also check the headers carefully to see where it really came from.

same here AYG including two from Burkina Faso. Where are the ones asking me to liquidate Colonel Qadaffi's funds? I might be interested in those or has Tony Blair got there already?

[scotman]

Some of the grammar is dodgy as well. Probably some sort of scam, maybe trying to identify real email addresses.

[seadogg]

Surely i would have Inc. or Ltd etc after the name if it were a bone fide company.
Also, as Scotman points out, this is very amateurish as a business company communication. The grammar is vile.

If I get an e/mail from anyone or firm that is unknown to me I just ignore it and certainly avoid opening any attachment which could contain a virus or something which might be able establish information from my computer. My view is that the bin is best for such unsolicitated e/mails.

"We've attached a scanned copy of the document ... that also includes some kinda virus that means I'll get yr information"

[boxtops]

exactly oj - it's been binned - an interesting new tactic though.

[starone]

I have suffered a couple of times with viruses through opening attachments so now I tell everyone I deal with if they want me to read it, it has to go in the letter or it gets scrapped.
