    Any one else get an email like this - who do i report it to?

    (it was sent to an email address displayed on one of my sites BUT i have never used)

    Important,


    I just received an urgent warning email from the accounts department of the
    online business that you joined a few months back. They told me that you
    have not yet confirmed acceptance of your last months stats or money earned.

    If you don't do this immediately then not only will you miss being paid
    out, it will also mean I don't get paid my over rides which will be very sad
    as I am owed $12,152USD this month.

    Please, simply visit this link and log into your account and accept your
    stats statement and collect your earnings so I can get mine too.

    Please, click here:

    Many Thanks In Advance

    Ken

    That's odd - looks like Google has eaten them. There were about 7 almost identical messages from "Ken" over the past few days though, picked up by spamtraps and the like.

    Pretty obviously spam, but they are getting more difficult to spot.

    My philosophy is simply to delete emails such as this. Don't think there is much point in reporting them - don't waste your time, "they" don't care. They probably aren't even of a fixed abode.

    This is the downside of email and the internet - everyone and anyone can use it. The only solution in my mind is to simply ignore it and don't worry about it - you're not going to be able to stop it, so just get used to it and get on with life.
