Christmas
I had better start my Christmas shopping now! I’ll be able to put plenty of gifts under the Christmas tree this year. We can listen to Christmas music, send plenty of Christmas cards, and sing Christmas carols.
Here is the POOF PROOF!
This is to inform you that you have won a prize money of Eight Hundred, Twenty Thousand Great Britain Pounds (£820,000,00.) for the month of December 2008 Prize promotion which is organized YAHOO AWARDS & WINDOWS LIVE.
Yahoo
It has to be from Yahoo look at the logo and it even contains a link to the Yahoo! home page.

Did you know that…
YAHOO collects all the email addresses of the people that are active online, among the millions that subscribed to Yahoo and Hotmail and few from other e-mail providers. Six people are selected monthly to benefit from this promotion and you are one of the Selected Winners.
I’ll bet you wish you a were as luck as I am?
What? You are! You got one of these emails too…
I just hope Yahoo has enough money to pay everyone.
They will give it to me as long as I don’t tell any one…


This email is supposedly from Dr. John Gerri and he sent his authorization signature.

Scams
Just what will the scammers think of next? Is anyone naive enough to give them all their personal information including their bank account info?

This email is supposedly sent from Yahoo. Don’t all of the Yahoo employees use email addresses from earthlink and gmail?

Would you like to see this email in its full glory?
Please take my sarcasm as it is intended, “tongue in cheek”.
Don’t get burned by the scammers this Holiday Season.
Late,
Gary Pool
