This is a new scam email that the no good deals readers should know about.
My AOL scam and email collector folder is very good in differentiating what is truly a scam or a malicious spam and what is not. I usually receive at least 10 real scams daily through it. My email program automatically opens them but it does not load the images nor do I click on the links inside those email scams.
This is a new one that I received the other day. These are the scams that we really need to be in the look out for. They are malicious and their main goal is to obtain your personal information.

I’ve been getting these for a couple of months now. Mostly African based, and always refering to a huge amount of money left to me from someone from my past… If I’d only send my name, fax number, banking numbers, etc. They will be able to release all of this surplus cash to me. Little ol’ me. I have been shunting them into the junk mail file and my mac is just beginning to catch on that this type of email is stuff I don’t want to open or see. Some of these emails are quite personal taking the form of a personal letter from a man or woman who says they are deeply christian and honest and trustworthy, etc. etc. Strange. I would report it but I don’t know who to report it to. I’d like it to stop though.
