Here is one of the better spams I’ve received (note the convincing explanation of why it is not actually spam):
From: db_200025@yahoo.comSubject: BIGGER than AOL and EBAY ???This is not a SPAM. You are receiving this because you are on a list of email addresses that I have bought. And you have opted to receive information about business opportunities.=====================================Here is one excellent program that I hope you will join me on. Its called Going Platinum, you may have heard of it by now. What the company offers is similar to what AOL offers but they have a compensation plan along with it. It took me a few hours to understand exactly how everything worked but after learning everything I really like this program. As far as any fees goes it is FREE to start. But to start getting any spillovers from me you have to make a one-time payment of $25. Without paying that one-time fee I can not put any people into your downline. Once I saw the compensation plan and the system, I paid the $25 quickly to see what will happen. And what happened was that I got a massive amount of spillovers.
