There are a billion scams sent via email. I check out every "sob story" on
www.truthorfiction.com so that I don't continue to clog the net with these
hoaxes.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Fw: Partnership Required!
I have been plucking Swen carrier emails from my OE list when I came up
with
this one. (I have NAV scanned this before sending to PCSoft) Not only
that
this is one helluva weird email but the way it came in too had me
scratching
my bony head!! The To: address did not match with my email address and I
am not with att.net. (Whoever sent this to me needs to know that Misty
was
my beloved pet cat who passed away 2 months ago and her last name was not
Hill!!) Has anyone else received this kind'uva stupid email? My AV
allowed
this in as a clean email. SpyBot didn't find anything in my system and ZA
has no record of this either. How did I get this with a wrong address?
Anyone?
By the way, you never, never and never believe this kind of crap (see
below)
in your email.
