Got two, yes TWO, "I have picked you for an inheritance" e-mails today. One from "Mrs. Mona Saeedi", one from "Mrs. Fatimah Abd-Al-Hamid", both from an e-mail account in the name of "Frank Wiering".

Man, they are REALLY getting lazy at the Internet Cafe, no?

Each ***SPAM*** probably comes from a mailer or mail forwarder; the (shall we say) spammer has nothing to do with it.
