Mrs. Christy Walton: "the First richest woman in the world"

My dearest,

May the peace of the Lord be with you as you read this letter.

My name is Christy Walton and I am an American Citizen, I am widow and a business woman. I have recently been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and a rare heart disease which has defiled all medical treatment. Expert diagnosis has shown that I have few days to live. I am worth $41.7 (Billion US Dollars) which I inherited from my late husband Mr. John T. Walton which rates me as the First richest woman in the world.

The intention of this email is to employ the expertise of a Charity minded individual, who can identify a viable and guarantee reasonable distribution of my wealth to the needy. I cannot rely on family and closest relatives anymore, as they did not show responsible behavior when I entrusted part of my wealth to them to distribute to charitable organizations but instead they used the money for their personal needs.

To prevent any more mishaps, my attorney will act as a check, monitoring every aspect of the Charity. My will is with my Lawyer which my family is fully aware about, but there is 5% of my Bank worth which is $2.85 (Billion US Dollars) which nobody is aware of except my attorney.

Do get back to me as soon as you receive this email for further details.I await your response.

God bless you.

SPAM central: SpectraNet in Nigeria

World’s Most Crime-Ridden ISP Found in Nigeria

Excerpt:

The world’s most crime-riddled Internet service provider is SpectraNet in Nigeria, new research has found. It says that 63% of site addresses hosted on SpectraNet’s servers were found to be sending spam—the highest proportion among 42,201 ISPs studied by Giovane Cesar Moreira Moura, researcher at the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology in the Netherlands.

Crime tended to be concentrated in small areas. A single Indian ISP was found to be uniquely responsible for 7% of the spamming website addresses in the world. Twenty of 42,201 ISPs monitored for Mr. Moreira Moura’s thesis created almost half of the world’s spam.

Fun from Spam in-box: "My name is Yuliya"

Excerpt:

Greetings my yet familiar friend. I was on a site of acquaintances ashleymadison and have seen yours profile. Also has decided to write to you. In hope that in the future we can be friends. It is a little about me. My name is Yuliya. To me of 27 years. I am a unique lady and never married.

Comment: Google Gmail trapped. I just thought it was funny .... a supposed 27 year old unmarried woman holding a bottle of booze and wanting to connect with me!

A law firm's virus nightmare

One Very Small Law Firm; One Extremely Large Computer Virus

Excerpt:

By Saturday morning, the pace had picked up. We alerted the necessary authorities, but there was still the question of what to do with all the emails and phone calls. Our stock and trade is our reputation. It was important to me that I respond to each email and call as quickly as possible. I sent out about 80 emails from Florida and we made sure we changed our Web site as soon as possible.

I was with my kids, but I had to get back to Connecticut, where I live. So I got a flight back for first thing Saturday. This is where the story gets weird — on the plane I had internet access, and I got an email that my house had been destroyed in the storm that hit the night before; that a tree had fallen through my roof.

In the meantime, we can’t land at Laguardia because of the weather, so they route us to Harrisburg to refuel, where we sit on the tarmac for three hours before bringing us back. A two-hour trip was quickly becoming a nine-hour trip. So there I am, on the plane with my four children who haven’t been fed, trying to deal with this spam attack, also taking in the news that my house has just been destroyed.
