Here's a famous one:
Subject: bill gates here
Hello everybody,
My name is Bill Gates. I have just written up an e-mail tracing program that traces everyone to whom this message is forwarded to. I am experimenting with this and I need your help. Forward this to everyone you know and if it reaches 1000 people everyone on the list will receive $1000 at my expense. Enjoy.
Your friend,
Bill
GatesI've heard of that. People fall for the strangest things. 1,000 bucks is tempting, but seriously. Who would think that a famous guy would give off over a million dollars to complete strangers? Also, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS E-MAIL TRACING.
That's why bill gates invented it.lol

I get some fake dating emails and stuff saying someone is trying to give me $1,000,000 USD and they want my personal information. There is another one I got a lot of which is the same email every time saying Jagex has a lawsuit against me for trading Runescape stuff in real life. I haven't played Runescape in about 4 years and my account doesn't exist anymore lol. xD

Here's a story for ya:
I had an old Mac laying around and decided to get rid of it. That being, I put it up on Craigstlist and received an email the next day saying they were interested, but had to pay through a money order (Red flag!). I figured I'd continue to go on with the deal but be careful. They then said they sent the money and just minutes later they told me that his secretary accidentally sent me $900 rather than the actual amount. At this point, it smelled of fish, so I just ignore the email. Then the next day I got an email asking me to "please send $800 back since the item is only $100. However, you won't receive my money order for a few days since it takes time to process." and I figured that they were going to end up with $800 and I was never going to get the $900.
I reported them to an internet crimes facility and that was that.
Good job...far too many people are victimized that way.

I get a TON of spam every day (probably about 50 emails worth, it's crazy). I don't open them because they are either innapropriate (for me to post here), messages telling me that I have just won "at least $1,000!!!," or "click here to see beautiful Russian brides!!!"
You have no idea...

I got a new spam email:
"iPads for as low as $23, including shipping!"
They just won't stop.

I randomly got a message from Evan from stockfootageforfree.com earlier on, it said that:
He wanted to make sure I knew about the 90% discount VideoBlocks.com they are offering to celebrate their addition to the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies in America.
What the heck is this?

Weird. I only get like one spam email every six months.

I got that fake Jagex email again:

My friends have had that stuff happen before. I was on Facebook last night and some guy (I don't even remember what he looks like) starting sending me weird messages and he said he wanted photos of me naked... I was actually telling my friend about it while I was getting those messages. He tried messaging me again, so I blocked him.
