At work, we have various email list for projects. We occasionally receive request from stranger to subscribe to our email list.
are they trying to hack into my system?
the man is selling me his 2006 SAAB 93 with 6,693 miles on it for only $4850 dollars. so i sent him a e-mail that i was interseted in purchasing the car because it was located near my house. so he e-mail me this….
Hello there,
Thanks for your email !
First of all I would like to tell you that the car is located in Quebec, Canada as I
recently moved here. I received a good job here and along with the job I received a new
car. I have no use for the car anymore so I am forced to sell it below the market value.
The full price is $4850 US dollars with shipping included to your location. I have a clean
title ready to be signed. The car has no electrical or mechanical problems, never been
involved in any kind of accidents. For our protection we can use eBay Motors to complete
the transaction. The deal will go strictly according to eBay rules and policy. I want you
to know that I’ll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you. We will use
eBay Motors to manage the payment because it is the safest way for both of us and also you
will have 3 days to inspect the car before I receive the money. Also, a refund policy will
be included. In order to start the official transaction, I need to know your details:
I have Yahoo and I would like to make a list that does not disclose the recipients to all of the other email addresses within the list to protect their privacy. Thank you!
I looked into kol.com but my dd doesn’t want that. Gmail doesn’t seem to have any parental controls, and aol.com is too cumbersome. Yahoo doesn’t seem to have a kids service either … any other suggestions for web-based kids email with easy to use parental controls?
Thank you for all of the parenting advice, but that’s not what I was asking. For the record, my dd is 11 and really doesn’t need **** in her inbox, or emails from people I don’t know.
