Hi, At times I get mails that look as below. The message is a reply to an earlier mail from me, and my message started with the line "(Por favor -- remita este email a un administrador que hable inglés.)".
What is this? Can something be done to: a) avoid getting the text formatted this way? b) making it more readable? Max Gossell (Btw - the message concerns my first "snailmail spam". I actually got a letter from Spain, telling me how rich I would soon become...) --------- Good Afternoon: this to inform you that we have nothing to do with this kind of business. We only work with insurances for homes, life, business, demises, etc. Someone has been using our name to gest easy money. This is all a fraud. santalucía "Max Gossell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> con fecha 10/03/2004 16:08:55 Destinatarios: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: Asunto: Possible fraud? (Por favor -- remita este email a un administrador que hable inglés.) --------- Hello, My name is Max Gossell, and today I received a letter from the International Lotto Commission in Spain telling me I have won the sum of 615810 US dollars. The money is said to be deposited in you company, Santalucía Seguros S.A., and I am to return a form -- written out on your company paper -- with name and banking information to get these money. It is also explained that the money claim process will be handled by Mr. John Costa, Foreign Operation Manager at Santalucia seguros S.A. The company address printed on the Santalucia form, is: C/Codoba 21, Planta 2a 08095 Madrid The phone and fax numbers printed on the same paper are: Phone: 675 046 015 Fax: 665 047 930 I couldn't find the address on your web site, and when checking I was told the phone and fax numbers are mobile phone numbers -- this made me a bit suspicious. So now I wonder if you please would like to verify that Mr. John Costa is your Foreign Operation Manager and that the address and numbers are valid.
