Lol at the video.

But anyways I've bought from Yesasia before for posters, films and CD's so nothing wrong with the site. However the links that this email provided seems bogus, I clicked on it and it linked me to something different and my Antivirus just rejected it before it got to my PC.

Ahh spam rocks, I still have over 9000 emails unread on my Hotmail account somehow.

I suppose if they get one response their laughing, maybe i should sent it on to them (yesasia) and see if they want to do anything about it?

Stuff like this is rife.

Just yesterday my Dad noticed £462 had been sent out of his paypal account.

Got duped by a fishing mail i would guess.

He got the money back, but someone still gains here, it's a big earner!

If those con artists had used their talents on something legitimate, wouldn't they have made better money? Or maybe it doesn't suit their temperament.

Scamming, bootlegging, trafficking, pick your poison, they are all more profitable than being an angel, just with a ton of risk.

My mum got one yesterday supposedly from hsbc, i had to expalin to her that they were phishing for account details as they would never address it
"deer costomar" , (and she doesnt have an account with them)
then they clean out your account and also get loans on the info you provide them and she replied
"why would anyone do such a thing?"
bless her shes 83 and see`s the good in everyone
