I was drawing more attention to the fact this came to my home address via the postal service rather than an email, i get them daily in my inbox but i don't want this sh** turning up on my door step.

junkmail's been around much longer than spam...

***craig5320*** · Jul 28, 2004, 02:17 PM

This isn't junkmail, it's a scam, it's hacked together with what looks like MS word and printed on an inkjet, not like the usual mass mailing junk mail.

LeanWolf · Jul 28, 2004, 02:20 PM

so spam scammers have expanded their medium

at least you can't get a virus from opening the letter.. or can you?

No viruses, just deadly chemical agents if you happen to work in the US Senate (Anthrax).
