After my recent question on fluther, I received one of those(Spam) offers to give me four million dollars.

Yes, I just recently got one of those as well. These guys just don’t know when to quit.

Yes. Pretty much what is going on here is someone is sending spam out through PMs. If you have e-mail notifications on it looks like fluther is sending spam email. But it is just sending the PM to your email. When you get these send what happened to http://www.fluther.com/contact/ and they will get banned.

Yep, got one this morning. I’m debating over whether to forward the return email address to the FBI cyber crime folks.

Same here – rather annoying :/

Do all these go out seconds apart from each other? Or does it look like it is done manually? If it is script that is easy enough to break. It seems like this is becoming a real problem so if it is a script something should be done about it. At least put some flood control on private messages.

Seems legit.

He made me promise not to tell.

I haven’t gotten anything. Is it related to a specific question?

This is what “junk” email folders are created for.

I wouldn’t bite! I would hold out for at least 5 million…4 is too cheap!

@Cruiser I’m supposed to get $20Million from the ex-Finance minister of Fukovia. He only needs my bank account information so he can deposit the money.

Is there anyone on the planet dumb enough to get sucked in by this stuff?

@worriedguy yes, otherwise these emails wouldn’t keep circulating. Unfortunately it’s often people without money that get sucked in to a deeper hole

So I am going to be the only jelly without four million dollars? That is so unfair. I didn’t get this offer.

@worriedguy now that is more like it!

I’ve had them often in my mails and online communities and forums. They’re all worse than that example I just gave. Just oxycute dem bone smacks.

You mean that wasn’t true? I just sent him all the information he wanted and I’ve picked out the elegant lavender Porche I will buy. Now I’ll have to cancel the order?

No, you’ll just get cancer and owe the government an entire federal prison.

I used to get emails like this but since I switched my email provider they’re very nicely filtered away and I never see them any more.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait… You get spam on a computer? Since when?

~sarcam off~

Of course, everyone gets spam.
